Every year Christopher Columbus is known as the greatest explorer of the 15 century and he brought many riches and greats but he also brought many destructions and death to many cultures.
Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 and was a teenager when he first went to sea to explore. Later on, in 1495, Christopher Columbus presented a plan to the Spanish that he would sail around the world for goods and other things giving him a whole new world of lies. Christopher Columbus was a Sailor who accidentally found the Americas. Some people think he’s a hero because of his many discoveries. Others feel he’s a villain because he brought disease, death, and destruction to Hispaniola. I think he is a villain because he killed many people and spread disease over the country. When he arrived on land and spread a disease. And the disease wiped out a lot of people. A lot of people think he’s a hero but he’s a villain because he spread a disease and made people destroy the world. He was an awful person and should have been locked up or put away for a long time. Christopher Columbus also had a bad temper. He also had anger issues I think that Columbus was a villain because he said he was the one that first spotted land on his ship when it was not him, it was somebody else on the ship but just to be mean and rude and popular and rich in his country he lied and when they got back he told people it was him when it wasn’t, but nobody believes the other guy, people just loved Columbus back then.
Columbus was an Amazing sailor. I give him that. However, Columbus was a murderer, he organized the rape of Indigenous women, he was a thief and he was a liar. Yes, he opened the world up to more atrocities, more brutalities, and more murderous treatment of Indigenous Peoples and later to years of brutal enslavement of African peoples. His statues are tumbling, toppling, and being removed because we as a Nation have higher standards than just “opening the world and being a great adventurer”. He was a monster who should have been imprisoned or given the death penalty like he gave thousands of Indigenous Peoples. Let’s remove all statues and monuments that represent “man’s inhumanity to man”. Let’s celebrate our ability to be tolerant, patient, and loving to each other. Let’s erect statues of Faith, Peace, and justice. These abominable monuments to slave owners, murderers, rapists, and thieves should all be toppled,
