In addition to that, Christopher Columbus was uncaring and cruel. He mistreated Native Americans when they tried to be friendly to him and his crew. He killed/slaughtered many Native Americans and slaves and is responsible for one of the greatest genocides in the history of mankind. Over the years, children have been taught by their parents, teachers, textbooks that Christopher Columbus “discovered” America.
