Columbus ran the first native he met through with his sword to 'demonstrate his power' (from his own diary). Columbus ordered the kidnapping of 25 local natives on his return to Spain, where they were shown and then sold as slaves. He then returned with an armada to enslave the population. Columbus himself was convicted of "Barbarity" (the original term for Genocide) in 1500, and the personal murder of at least 500,000 Native People. He and his brothers were imprisoned for life and had all property forfeited, he was pardoned by the King of Spain 3 months later but was not allowed to return to the Americas. His administration in present day Haiti is directly responsible for the deaths of at least 8 million people over the first 15 years.
