Christopher Columbus: Villain or Hero?
Christopher Columbus, according to some people, may be considered the world's greatest man, or explorer, for discovering America. He did, indeed, discover America, but only by accident, and he did it with great acts of torment and misery to the Natives. Does Columbus really deserve the praise that he gets? Columbus is responsible for the loss of a whole culture and its people, and it's all because of Spain's and his high greed for gold and glory. Many people have argued about Columbus' ways toward the Native Americans, and how the inhumane methods he used can define him as a villain. Many information sources have missed the specific detail on how Columbus was involved with the "capture" of the Americas
