The myth that Columbus committed genocide. More left wing attacks on our traditions.

[Theowl32]

• Columbus did not commit genocide. He sought to form good relationships with the native peoples of the New World and had no intention of doing them any harm. He had intended to sail to Asia, a land both populous and technologically advanced. His intent was trade and evangelization, not conquest. In exploring and settling the New World, Columbus frequently ordered his men to treat the natives well and not commit injustices or atrocities against them. Columbus punished and even executed some of the settlers who went against his orders and abused the natives. Scholars like Stanford professor emeritus Carol Delaney describe his interactions with the native peoples as generally benign and his motivations as religious; he was not violent, hostile, or cruel to those he encountered. Furthermore, the vast majority of the natives who died in the years after Columbus’ arrival succumbed to communicable diseases inadvertently transmitted by the Europeans rather than from any intentional act on the part of Columbus, his men or the settlers.

Just more of the commie propaganda in attempting to demonize American tradition. Anyone white, Christian or a founding father is demonized.

I love it when leftists spew how "peaceful" the injuns were...how in touch with nature they were. As if all injuns were one people.

There were hundreds of indian tribes each with their own philosophies. They warred with eachother...they ran entire heards of buffalo off the edge of cliffs...and worst of all...THEY BURNED COAL TO STAY WARM!

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Democrats hate America they want to destroy everything about it so they can fundamentally transform America into a global socialist police state run by oligarchs out of Europe.

If a Democrat tell you they are patrotic or love America, they are either totally ignorant or lying to your face. Being a patrotic Democrat is like being a Jewish nazi.

Chris was another Jeffrey Epstein and some folks just don't mind that he was genocidal as fuck, or that america was founded upon genocide, or that the "christian" Catholic Church was calling for the eradication of the indigenous peoples of the Americas as early as the 1500s in Papal Bulls.


When Italian explorer, Christopher Columbus voyaged to the Caribbean in the 1490s, he not only discovered new lands, at least one of his men would document his own rape and torture of an indigenous woman. Michele de Cuneo, a noble friend of Columbus, tells of a “Carib woman” given to him by the admiral. When she fought back against his attempted sexual attacks, he “took a piece of rope and whipped her soundly...finally we came to an agreement in such manner that I can tell you she seemed to have been brought up in a school for harlots.” Columbus’ ships would eventually sail back to Europe, carrying more than 1,000 slaves.

But wait, there's more, from Chris hisself:


"YOUR HIGHNESSES, as Catholic Christians and Princes who love the holy Christian faith, and the propagation of it, and who are enemies to the sect of Mahoma [Islam] and to all idolatries and heresies, resolved to send me, Cristóbal Colon, to the said parts of India to see the said princes … with a view that they might be converted to our holy faith …. Thus, after having turned out all the Jews from all your kingdoms and lordships … your Highnesses gave orders to me that with a sufficient fleet I should go to the said parts of India …. I shall forget sleep, and shall work at the business of navigation, so that the service is performed."


"As soon as I arrived in the Indies, in the first island which I found, I took some of the natives by force, in order that they might learn and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts. And so it was that they soon understood us, and we them, either by speech or by signs, and they have been very serviceable."


One of his men and a childhood friend of Columbus, Michele da Cuneo, describes in a letter how he raped a native woman:

While I was in the boat, I captured a very beautiful Carib woman, whom the said Lord Admiral gave to me. When I had taken her to my cabin she was naked—as was their custom. I was filled with a desire to take my pleasure with her and attempted to satisfy my desire. She was unwilling, and so treated me with her nails that I wished I had never begun. But—to cut a long story short—I then took a piece of rope and whipped her soundly, and she let forth such incredible screams that you would not have believed your ears. Eventually we came to such terms, I assure you, that you would have thought that she had been brought up in a school for whores.



Not so Christian. But the anecdote captured above was not some isolated incident of cruelty. Ironically, but in no way surprisingly, the Spanish who came to save the “heathens” from their idolatry, weren’t very Christ-like in their behavior. In his book The Devastation of the Indies. Bartolome de las Casas, the priest who accompanied Columbus on his conquest of Cuba, detailed the abuse and murder of the native population:




Endless testimonies . .. prove the mild and pacific temperament of the natives…. But our work was to exasperate, ravage, kill, mangle and destroy…

"And the Christians, with their horses and swords and pikes began to carry out massacres and strange cruelties against them. They attacked the towns and spared neither the children nor the aged nor pregnant women nor women in childbed, not only stabbing them and dismembering them but cutting them to pieces as if dealing with sheep in the slaughter house. They laid bets as to who, with one stroke of the sword, could split a man in two or could cut off his head or spill out his entrails with a single stroke of the pike. They took infants from their mothers’ breasts, snatching them by the legs and pitching them head first against the crags or snatched them by the arms and threw them into the rivers, roaring with laughter and saying as the babies fell into the water, “Boil there, you offspring of the devil!” Other infants they put to the sword along with their mothers and anyone else who happened to be nearby. They made some low wide gallows on which the hanged victim’s feet almost touched the ground, stringing up their victims in lots of thirteen, in memory of Our Redeemer and His twelve Apostles, then set burning wood at their feet and thus burned them alive. To others they attached straw or wrapped their whole bodies in straw and set them afire. With still others, all those they wanted to capture alive, they cut off their hands and hung them round the victim’s neck, saying, “Go now, carry the message,” meaning, Take the news to the Indians who have fled to the mountains. They usually dealt with the chieftains and nobles in the following way: they made a grid of rods which they placed on forked sticks, then lashed the victims to the grid and lighted a smoldering fire underneath, so that little by little, as those captives screamed in despair and torment, their souls would leave them…."

Historical Record Shows Christopher Columbus Actually Was A Great Man

The typical mainstream media anti-Columbus hit piece goes as follows: cite a well known passage from the Admiral’s diary out of context, juxtapose it next to the testimony of his chief political rivals, and pretend that all of this information has only recently been uncovered.
-----

Perhaps the worst charge Matthews alleges is that “Settlers under Columbus sold 9- and 10-year-old girls into sexual slavery.” Matthews asserts, “This one he admitted himself in a letter to Doña Juana de la Torre, a friend of the Spanish queen: ‘There are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand, and for all ages a good price must be paid.’”

One might conclude from Vox’s article that Columbus devised the plan or at least approved of it. But the opposite is true.

Columbus doesn’t brag about selling those girls into slavery or even defend the action.


On the contrary, in the very next sentence, Columbus writes, “I assert that the violence of the calumny of turbulent persons has injured me more than my services have profited me; which is a bad example for the present and for the future. I take my oath that a number of men have gone to the Indies who did not deserve water in the sight of God and of the world.”

That is a hilarious twist on history, guy! It is worthy of a Rush Limbaugh show topic! I didn't read the source you posted, but does it explain just why Columbus was sent home to Spain under arrest and in chains from his own colony by the King of Spain? Does it explain why he was forbidden by the king to return to that colony for the rest of his life, and was even barred from seeking shelter there during a hurricane on his 4th voyage, with the result that he was shipwrecked on another island, and was unable to return to Spain for months as a result? Did it go into the fact that the Spaniards at Columbus' colony were given the task of bringing in a certain measure of gold every month, under pain of having a hand or a foot chopped off it the failed to do so?

No informed person would endeavor to maintain that the churchmen were always in the right, but by the same token no one can deny that they were generally on the side of the angels in their treatment of the Indians. It was the outraged voice of the friar, Bartolomé de Casas which first made Europe aware of the fate that had befallen thousands of the natives in enslavement by the Spanish conquerors. As it was the agitation aroused by Las Casas and his kind that prompted Pope Paul III in 1537 to issue the bull Sublimis Deus in which he declared: “The said Indians and all other people who may later be discovered by Christians, are by no means to be deprived of their liberty or the possession of their property, even though they be outside the faith of Jesus Christ.”

On the Papal Bull, ‘Sublimis Deus’


British Anti-Catholicism
The Florida missions were launched almost immediately after Ponce de Leon first entered Florida in 1513. For the first half of the 16th century, Spanish expeditions failed to establish a lasting presence, and missionaries traveling with them encountered determinedly hostile native tribes. In 1558, a more concerted effort was made when the Dominicans assumed direction of the missions, starting with the expedition of Tristán de Luna y Arellano in 1559. This proved a failure, and the Dominicans were succeeded by the Jesuits. They in turn left Florida in 1572 as conditions there and the hostility of the Indians offered little prospect for a permanent settlement.

As the French were by then making their presence felt in North America, the Spanish government decided to make another try. Under Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, an expedition in 1565 founded the first permanent city in Spanish Florida, St. Augustine. He was accompanied by two priests who founded there the first parish in the United States. Real progress followed from 1577 with the Franciscans who forged a chain of missions across Florida and then into Georgia. More than 30,000 Indians converted by 1634.

As the English colonies expanded to the north, the missions fell under attack as part of the wider conflict between Spain and England. During Queen Anne’s War (1702-1713, known in Europe as the War of the Spanish Succession), English troops and colonists, with their Indian allies, launched brutal attacks on the Florida missions from their bases in the Carolinas. Over the next years, churches were burned to the ground, friars were tortured and then killed, and Catholic Indians were slaughtered.

One of the worst attacks was in 1740 under General James Oglethorpe of Georgia; Franciscans were slain with a remarkable savagery. A reported 1,400 Catholic Indians were taken to Charleston and sold as slaves. Already suffering decline because of the weakened Spanish government in Florida, the missions received further blows during the French and Indian Wars (in Europe, the Seven Years’ War); St. Augustine was sacked in 1763. That same year, Spain lost Florida to England in the Treaty of Paris. There was supposed religious freedom in Florida under the English, but the lingering Spanish elements soon left the area.
