History, politics, and culture articles and forum discussions.
The students and faculty at Brown are correct. Columbus was not the hero we were taught in earlier history books. More recent history books are more truthful about him.This has nothing to do with political correctness, and everything to do with historical accuracy.You can check out my video about Columbus (which is historically accurate) on youtube at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT5cIeHPR-c&feature=channel_pageIf the video seems to run too quickly for you to read the information, hit the pause/play button to stop it temporarily while you read. Then hit the pause/play button to start it up again.Columbus did not discover America. The Vikings had settlements here (actually in North America) hundreds of years before. Columbus never even set foot on United States soil. He died thinking he had found a better trade route to India (hence First Nation people are called Indians).Columbus engaged in genocide against the populations where he landed.I urge everyone to research history and not rely on the inaccuracies you were taught years ago. There were lots of inaccurate stories in those history texts. My video above is a good starting place.
