The United States of America just celebrated Columbus Day but Christopher Columbus is not the man you think he is. The truth about Christopher Columbus is, he was kind of a jerk
The truth about Bartolome de las Casas was that He suggested the importation of African slaves to replace the lost native american workforce. God forbid the conquerrors do their own work. Bartolome is Directly responsible for the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
While he later came to regret his actions and he was not nearly as horrible an excuse for a human being as Columbus, he does not deserve a holiday either.
