True story..Columbus was looking for China..thought he found India...and discovered...Puerto Rico! He landed on Hispaniola..stayed for a bit..came back on his next expedition..almost everyone dead! Seems they all died of disease.Is it true that Columbus cut off the hands of American Indians it they did return with gold?Commie cocksuckers have vandalized 2 statues of Christopher Columbus. They want Civil War, they're going to get it
Christopher Columbus statues toppled in Richmond, beheaded in Boston
When they went after Confederate Statues I told you it was only the beginning. BTW this is not a "now they are going after Columbus". They have been defacing Columbus, Washington and Plymouth Pilgrim statues for three years. The Democrats hate you, your family and your country with an intensity that you, a decent person, cant comprehend (to your credit).
No, Columbus never stepped foot on the continental US
This is how stupid leftists are
Columbus..was lost!

Columbus brought more than ships to the New World
Explorers brought new infectious diseases with them to the Americas.
In Hispaniola, Columbus’ first stop in the Americas, the native Taino population (an indigenous Arawak people) had no immunity to new infectious diseases, including smallpox, measles and influenza. There were an estimated 250,000 indigenous people in Hispaniola in 1492. By 1517, only 14,000 remained.
Some historians say the impact of European and African settlers in the New World was more destructive than the Black Death had been in medieval Europe, possibly killing off as much as 90 percent of the native populations.
Europeans did not walk away unscathed, however. The visitors to the Americas also contracted a number of diseases, including tuberculosis and an extremely virulent syphilis. When explorers returned to Europe, the diseases went with them and ran rampant on the populace of the Old World.
