Columbus is not a villain: Professor says explorer has been seriously maligned | The College Fix
- Columbus did not commit genocide. He sought to form good relationships with the native peoples of the New World and had no intention of doing them any harm. He had intended to sail to Asia, a land both populous and technologically advanced. His intent was trade and evangelization, not conquest. In exploring and settling the New World, Columbus frequently ordered his men to treat the natives well and not commit injustices or atrocities against them. Columbus punished and even executed some of the settlers who went against his orders and abused the natives. Scholars like Stanford professor emeritus Carol Delaney describe his interactions with the native peoples as generally benign and his motivations as religious; he was not violent, hostile, or cruel to those he encountered. Furthermore, the vast majority of the natives who died in the years after Columbus’ arrival succumbed to communicable diseases inadvertently transmitted by the Europeans rather than from any intentional act on the part of Columbus, his men or the settlers.
Folks, the left are liars. They spread lies and most of them are just reeducated commie stooges.
They will reject this truth too.
He did interupt quite a few genocides and beating-heart-cutting-out-to-make-it-rain ceremonies the unchristian savages were enjoying.
Dead natives commit no blasphemies!
