I must admit that my knowledge of Columbian history is pretty weak but if what the article says is true then I would have to agree that the liberals and leftists are correct and Columbus was real piece of sh!t.
Having said that, why can’t they accept or admit that Stalin, Mao, Castro and Communism/Socialism are just as bad or even worse?
Christopher Columbus wasn’t perfect (he enslaved hundreds of natives of Hispaniola and took them to Spain—Queen Isabella freed them but many of them had already died), but he was more humane than most of the explorers of that era. He was a remarkable person—more deserving of having the New World named for him than a pickle dealer from Seville.
