Columbus was not a good person. He all but started the slave trade and the genocide of the Native Peoples.

2. This doesn't even begin to cover how evil these explorers were

In their own journals, in their own words, Columbus's men described the horrors they inflicted on the natives. They tortured people for fun. One incident describes how the natives had no concept of violence, so they cut one's ear off just to see how they'd react to it. They describe in detail how they took young girls to beat and rape.

Columbus and his men were animals. Pure evil.
