It was the whole of of European colonization. I am not going to discredit Columbus for making the voyage to America. I think of him as a true hero and a brave man. I hope that we can agree on the fact that the displacement and killing of the natives is not ethically right. I am proud to live in America but I think we should respect those who were here before us. I personally don’t blame only Columbus for mistreating natives and destroying their culture.
