What do you think of Columbus?

I think Columbus is a Italian explorer who sailed the ocean in 1492 and landed in the Caribbean. I also think that he is a mean man who treated the Arawak's wrong and treated them like salves. So in conclusion, i think that Christepher Columbus is lucky that he got out of jail and got to go another voyage when he treated the Arawak's (the people who live in the Caribbean) very wrong.
