Not well. He was a greedy man and promised his crew the first man to see land would get a reward. When this happened he kept to money he promised and when a Native American didn't bring him enough gold he cut off his hand. Lastly, when Columbus was shipwrecked for 2 years the governor of Porto Rico knew he was there and left him there. By the time he was rescued he was sick.

Why did christopher Columbus name America America?

Christopher Columbus named America after Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian map maker who showed Columbus that the lands discovered by him (Christopher Columbus) were actually separate lands, not an extension of the Spice Islands and part of Asia as Columbus believed. Christopher Columbus did not name America after Amerigo Vespucci. That was done by a German cartographer/mapmaker named Martin Waldseemüller in 1507. Waldseemüller was mislead by a book apparently written by Matthias Ringmann, which was based on a letter said to have been written by Vespucci, but which has proved to be a fake. Waldseemüller later produced other maps without the name America on them, but in 1538 Gerardus Mercator applied the name to the entire New World in his maps, and this was accepted, even though Spain did not recognize the name for over 200 years, stating that Columbus should get the credit.
