Christopher Columbus committed many atrocities against native tribes in the Americas. He raped, tortured, and murdered native people. He cut off a native man's hands and tied his arms to his throat as a show of force. Columbus also imposed taxes on native people and murdered or tortured those who did not pay. On one occasion, he killed 500 natives because they were going to fight back against his forces. Overall, Columbus is not viewed as a hero but rather brought destruction to the native populations he encountered.

11. Christopher Columbus is in no way a hero. All he did
was encounter unknown lands while trying to get to
Asia. He did not even manage to complete his initial
goal of finding a commercially viable route to Asia by
traversing the western oceans. He died feeling a
failure because of this, not because of the tragedy he
had brought to the Indians. His great
accomplishment was the destruction of an entire
population. How is that heroic?

13. The native american tribes that were here when
chridtopher columbus came are no longer existing.
Why? Because columbus had one thought when he
saw those native people. He believed that they would
be easy to conquer because they appeared defenseless,
easy to trick because they lacked experience in trade,
and an easy source of profit because they could be
enslaved

17. Certain artifacts have shown that they were not an uncivilized
community as Columbus had claimed. They had a wide range of
abundant food sources, healthy relationships with their neighbors,
and were experienced traders. Despite what Columbus believed,
they also had their own distinct religion, termed Zemiism.
