remember that however bad you think columbus was, its actually 1000 times worse in reality !!! imagine your family were the ones tortured, segregated, your dearly held homes were destroyed with no mercy, your entire beliefs were invalidated and wiped out, treated as barbaric, children put in mines, sold into slavery, killed by colonists & their diseases
these were families with loved ones and pets, someone you could see at school or in the streets, just like you. these were humans with dreams and emotions, they are not just numbers and statistics, or vague pasts, these were people like any others youve seen
entire tribes were wiped out, their wntire culture and religion, tribes that could still be around today if it werent for Europe!! they did nothing to deserve this except exist!!
