Christopher Columbus didn't commit genocide. Within 200 years of Columbus's arrival, 95% of the 20M Native Americans died... from disease. Smallpox, flu, tuberculosis, malaria, plague, measles, cholera. Tragic, definitely. But mass murder by Columbus? Not even close.

Who's journals? Those were not written by Columbus. They were faked after his death

He was honestly an awful person. I don't understand people's defense of him. Support his action of discovering the Americas but it's false to paint him as some moral hero
