I know plenty about the history of my ancestors. Consider your sources. I'd be interested in reading those journals. Can you link to them? I don't believe they were his men as you call them. He was just the tour guide. Do you blame a tour guide for the bad things his passengers did. Like if I beat you up on a septa bus here in Philly is it the drivers fault. Or if the driver drops me off at the next stop and I cut your mom's hands off do you assassinate me and the bus driver? You know for a fact Columbus was raping women. Idk. If I was one of his passengers and wanted to make sure a safe return back to Europe I wouldn't let him off the boat. What if he died and you couldn't get back. Ever think of things along those lines? Do you really believe Columbus was in charge of everyone or just a captain?
