Should Americans Today View Christopher Columbus As A Hero Or As A Villians?

The perception of Christopher Columbus varies widely; some view him as a hero for his role in opening the Americas to European exploration, while others see him as a villain due to the colonization and suffering that followed his voyages, including the oppression and atrocities against Indigenous peoples. This duality reflects broader themes of historical interpretation, where the legacy of figures like Columbus is reassessed in light of contemporary values and ethics. Ultimately, whether he is seen as a hero or a villain depends on one's perspective on colonialism and its impacts.

How Columbus treated Native Americans?

Christopher Columbus treated the natives (Taino Indians) very poorly. Columbus killed many Taino people. He also ordered every Taino at the age 14 and older to find him gold. The poor Tainos looked, and looked but couldn't find enough gold. For not finding enough gold, Columbus punished the Tainos, and cut off their hands, and make them be slaves. Christopher Columbus was a very mean and scary person to the Taino Indians. The Tainos thought of Columbus as a villain coming to their land.
