Columbus Blog

It is easy to claim that Columbus was a villain, seeing as he came to the Americas and "discovered" the continent, which caused great difficulties for the natives living there at the time. In a different perspective, Columbus can be seen as a hero, because if it wasn't for his determination and his persistance, the United States and all other countries on this side of the hemisphere could have never been rediscovered and populated. He was seen as unintelligent in Europe, as many people believed the world was flat. He was an outsider who did not stop when others told him too, and eventually led the Europeans to the "New World".
