The controversial character of Christopher Columbus has been viewed by many different versions, including heroic, mythical, and gruesome stories. "In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue," that's how children for centuries have learned who found the America's. How many stories actually tell the amount of natives they took for prisoners and how many died? "The Indians were given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed." None of this information was told or mentioned growing up.
Christopher Columbus was a selfish opportunist who conned the queen and king of his land, his people, and exploited all the natives in the newfoundland. He judged different people according to their advancements and if they weren't as good as his, he'd use it as an advantage. "When you ask for something they have, they never say no. To the contrary, they offer to share with anyone.." The natives welcomed Columbus and his crew onto their land with gifts, food, and water. However, even being as kind as they were, he still captured, enslaved, and killed millions of Indians. He may have found America, but killing the natives to the land was wrong. Christopher is well-known for his expeditions and discovers, and all the savagery is recognized but "we have learned to bury it in a mass of other facts".
