After his trip to a few islands, while leaving his brother and others in charge, he returned to chaos which led to a battle. The battle led to more European control and peace, while others lived under the rule and punishment of a foreign culture. Christopher Columbus Achievement of Peace
There is plenty of evidence that shows Columbus was responsible for forcing thousands of natives on the Caribbean islands into slave labor, as well as seizing, selling, distributing, and exporting many native women and children.
That's a weird way to put things. There's time stamps on the episode for descriptions taken from the horses mouths with absolutely no editing. Full story.

In fact, when the Aztecs got done with their slaves, they sacrificed some of the more notable ones, and then ATE them.
So. . . if we got a chance to go back in time, and ask those slaves, they would probably, I am guessing, chose the European overlords, over the MesoAmerican ones, yeah?
In addition to slicing out the hearts of victims and spilling their blood on temple altars, the Aztecs likely also practiced a form of ritual cannibalism.
IOW? You are just judging a guy from a millennia and an half ago, by our standards today. When in fact, EVERYONE from that time period was brutal and barbaric.
Do I have that correct now?
IN FACT. . eventually, history shows us, they DID. That is how the Aztecs fell.

I bet you the Europeans at that time weren't raping or making slaves as much as the Muslims were at that time and prior and even after the American slaves gained freedom. It's what everyone did back then. Everywhere. The trans saharan slave trade was brutal to all colors and 72 genders. It's what happened back then. The Mongols, the Mayan.... The majority of the world was brutal.

I never said others weren't brutal, I never said others didn't practice slavery. I am well aware that they were.
The topic of the thread is Christopher Columbus, I was addressing the topic. He is widely considered the father of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. It's a fact. It is also a fact that he was a mass murderer and enslaved the indigenous population. I'm not judging him, I am well aware that he, like all people, was a product of his time. That does not change the facts .

Oh so you're picking up "facts" to make a point. Since you're so smart, can you give it show me the quote where Columbus was a "mass murderer", "enslaved the whole population" and and and when did Columbus start the kickoff of the trans Atlantic slave trade? Since he was "the father" of it. Hahaha... Sorry to laugh, but I really want you to teach me at least one of your facts. Please. I'll give you a back massage if you do.. Foot rub too.
