Guest guest Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Columbus True: Columbus did not discover America! Columbus never set foot in America! Columbus is one of the first Europeans to discover the Americas, after the European Vikings. Columbus did, by luck find Islands in what's now called the Caribbean. Indians living there told him to sail West in hopes of getting rid of him. Columbus then set foot in now what's called Central America, and then on to South America during four of his voyages to the so-called new world. True: Columbus was a slave trader. He kidnapped and enslaved Indians he came in contact with. Columbus and his men with superior weapons forced Indians to mine for gold on their Island homelands, this included Indian children. Columbus and his men punished Indians by cutting off their ears, nose, hands and feet. Columbus and his men, for sport, would hunt Indian children with dogs and let the dogs kill them. Columbus would tie Indians to his ship's mask and let his dogs eat them alive for food when sailing back across the Atlantic Ocean. Indians that survived the voyage were sold as slaves. Columbus was not a holy crusader; that's another myth. Columbus is personally responsible for the killing of about half a million Indian men, women and children. It's a national sick joke for our U.S. government to honor him with a national holiday and not the Native Americans here in their true homeland! Columbus the sailor was lost! Indians saved his life, unfortunately, for them and others. http://rica.com/ Columbus was relieved of his duties as governor over the newfound lands. Columbus and two of his brothers were arrested for their atrocities against Indians. Columbus was placed in manacles on his arms and chains on his feet and thrown into prison to await his return to Spain. He was 53 years old at this time in the year of 1500. After all was said and done by Columbus, toward Indian people, he was ordered never to return to the Americas.
