Colombus Blog

I would consider Christopher Columbus both a villian and a hero. Although he was definitely not the first person to discover the Americas, he introduced it to the Europeans. If not for Columbus the Europeans would not have discovered America, and the Puritans and Quakers would not have been able to seek religious freedom here. We might have, at some point been discovered by someone else, but life just would not be the same. Although Christopher Columbus has many flaws, for example, he thought that he was in the East Indies, overall he was a hero. Although this may be true, I believe that Columbus was more a villian than a hero. He came to America and basically killed Native Americans. He was extremely harsh, and mean to these Native Americans which made me think that he was more a villian than a hero.
