You know that even Columbus’ contemporaries condemned him, right?
Columbus’ cruelty was recognized in his own day. Spanish churchmen condemned him for carrying off women from their husbands and subjecting them to the pleasures of other men.

The Cree murdered people. The picts murdered people. The crips murdered people. The colmbian cartel murdered people. Liverpool fans murder people.
