        Agreed, every explorer from every country and religion was violent. Very few we're peaceful, it's our history. It shouldn't be ignored.

        His discovery led to permanent European settlement of Americas, which is noteworthy. But his treatment of Taino was cruel by any standard.

        How exactly does one discover land masses that had been populated for millennia? I'd also be remiss to point out that Vikings did it B4 him

        Vikings ventured to Newfoundland and as far as Manhattan (maybe farther but there's no documentation). It did not lead to settlement though.

        America was already settled. That's the whole point we're discussing Ansel. The word your looking for is "invasion."

        I've already explained, but if you have qualms with the word 'discovery' then I concede. Now, don't let that be an excuse for pseudohistory

        Pseudo history is calling the mounds in Ohio and Indiana Native American. There will always be more questions than answers.
