No one hates Columbus simply because he landed on San Salvador. It was everything he was personally involved in after that makes him a terrible person to commemorate.
Also, the thing is that this isn't even looking at 1492 and later through a modern day glass; there were people back then who thought Columbus was ruthless, like Bartolomeo De Las Casas.
The question isn't about "ruthlessness" or any other accusation. The question is very, very simple.
I've been through a few topics on CE that claim Columbus isn't responsible for **** and didn't accomplish ****.
So I want to hear some actual facts in this topic that back those sentiments up, if one believes Columbus didn't do anything productive----who did---who is responsible--- how--- and why---- Very simple.
