    Plenty of native tribes lined up with Hernan Cortes to march on and defeat the Aztecs.

    10 Things People Get Wrong About Columbus


    Myth #2: The Indians lived in peace and harmony, ruined by Columbus and his fellow Europeans.
    History tells us otherwise. War, slavery, cannibalism, and sexual immorality were all common practices among the Indians. As the Spanish would later find out, human sacrifice and infanticide were the norm among other Indians, like the Aztecs. The Aztecs slaughtered upwards of 20,000 in a single day sacrificing many of their enemies by removing their still-beating hearts.

    Happy Indigenous Peoples Day....slaughtered upwards of 20,000 in a single day! Lets Party

    Wow, you are REALLY having a bad day, aren't you? States changing Col. Day to Indigenous Peoples Day. Toadstool circling the toilet. Ships being named for famous LGBT people. White cop arrested and charged with murdering a black woman in her home.

    Just not a good time to be a toothless drooling old white male Trumphumper, is it?

    I'll make a deal with you and the native Americans that believe like you. I'll support taking Columbus Day off the calendar when every person of native American heritage, including 1/1024 Elizabeth Warren, start living exactly like their ancestors did prior to European exploration.

    The world was a very brutal place in his day lol.

    Still is, in many parts of the world. My only problem with giving Columbus ‘a full view’ is the indigenous won’t get theirs in equal measure. The black slave trade never gets the ‘full view’ for the same reasons. There are college educated people who think [because they were basically indoctrinated] that white Europeans invented it.

    The historical facts are that white Europeans took part in it for a time—then they put a stop to it. And in this country it was stopped at the cost of many thousand white lives in a bloody civil war.

    Other than that, ‘teach’ away on Columbus.

    Go get'em social justice warrior.....its not like the indigenous folk of North America did not steal the land they possessed from others. Suggestion: Why not hand your property over to its rightful owners...that is YOUR PARENTS property, as I do not think they would enjoy you giving their basement or bedroom away in order to seek the accolade of the other snowflake titty suckers.

    Long before the war criminal Columbus arrived on the scene both North and South America were battlegrounds...fighting over hunting and property rights.

    You said wrong about Columbus and told about the Indians. Never mentioned Columbus and his brutality and slavery.
    That would not be a Columbus fact, but a dishonest one about Indians.
