The Truth!
Christopher Columbus, the villain who sailed the ocean blue in 1492. Columbus was a villain because of his cruelty, his lies, and greed. He was very cruel to the Native Americans. He lied to his own people. His greed for gold caused destruction of many lives.Columbus was villain because he was nothing but cruel to the natives of the "New World". He enslaved Indians making them work under harsh conditions, such as wiping them and starving them, causing millions of natives' lives by suicide or sickness. He took advantage of the natives' generosity to him by taking more then his share of gold and food from them and giving nothing in return. As you can see he was very cruel to the Native Americans.
Columbus was a villain because of his cruelty, his lies, and greed. He shipped thousands of African Americas across seas to become slaves that work on sugar and tobacco plantations so that he would get massive amounts of money. Although I love missing a day of school for Columbus Day; I don't like that the day is in honor of a man who has done nothing but lie, be cruel, and want money. I know America would never have a day in celebration for Hitler! So why would we celebrate a day for a man who is just like him. His greed for money caused many lives not exactly what the definition of a hero is to me. Because of his lies to his people proves even more that he is a villain. Because of Columbus people today and probably in the future will still be prejudice against African Americans and anyone who isn't "white". When it really was one of his crew men on the dock who spotted land first. Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, taking three ships and a faithful crew. He also lied to his men and the highnesses saying that he was the first to spot land. Columbus just like Hitler had a holocaust except that he killed millions of Indians instead of Jews; it honestly doesn't matter because they both killed innocents. He lied to the King and Queen of Spain that he was in Asia, and that there was a lot of gold and spices. It is important for the myths to be put to rest that Columbus was an honorable man, who "discovered" American, because when people celebrate Columbus Day and believe that he is a hero it's like celebrating a day for Hitler. Christopher was never a hero and will never be because of his lies, his cruelty, and greed. Columbus was a villain because of his greed for money.
