This would be in my own opinion. Anybody else can disagree :P

He is a good guy. But lets see what people say about him! :)

Since his passing in 1506, Columbus' biography has experienced numerous corrections. He is attacked by indigenous rights bunches, yet was once truly considered for sainthood.

Columbus was neither a creature nor a holy person. He had some splendid qualities and some exceptionally negative ones. He was not an awful or insidiousness man, essentially a talented mariner and guide who was additionally a go getter and a result of his time.

On the positive side, Columbus was an extremely capable mariner, pilot and boat chief. He courageously went west without a guide, heeding his gut feelings and computations. He was extremely faithful to his benefactors, the Lord and Ruler of Spain, and they compensated him by sending him to the New World an aggregate of four times. He took slaves from those tribes that battled him and his men: he appears to have managed generally decently with those tribes that he become a close acquaintence with, for example, that of Boss Guacanagari.

Be that as it may, there are numerous stains on his legacy also. Humorously, the Columbus-bashers point the finger at him for a few things that were not under his control and overlook some of his most glaring real abandons. He and his group brought horrendous maladies, for example, smallpox, to which the men and ladies of the New World had no barriers, and millions kicked the bucket. This is verifiable, however it was additionally unexpected and would have happened in the long run in any case. His disclosure opened the ways to the conquistadors who plundered the relentless Aztec and Inca Domains and butchered locals by the thousands, yet this, as well, would likely have happened when another person definitely found the New World.

In the event that one must detest Columbus, it is significantly more sensible to do as such for different reasons. He was a slave merchant who unfeelingly detracted men and ladies from their families keeping in mind the end goal to diminish his inability to locate another exchange course. His counterparts detested him. As legislative leader of Santo Domingo on Hispaniola, he was a dictator who kept all benefits for himself and his siblings, and was abhorred by the settlers whose lives he controlled. Endeavors were made on his life and he was really sent back to Spain in chains at one point after his third voyage. Amid his fourth voyage, he and his men were stranded on Jamaica for a year when his boats decayed: nobody needed to go there from Hispaniola to spare him. He was likewise a penny pincher: subsequent to promising a prize to whomever spotted land first on his 1492 voyage, he declined to pay up when mariner Rodrigo de Triana did as such, giving the prize to himself rather in light of the fact that he had seen a "gleam" the prior night.

Beforehand, height of Columbus to a saint made individuals name urban areas (and a nation, Colombia) after him and numerous spots still observe Columbus Day, however these days individuals tend to see Columbus for what he truly was: a daring, yet extremely imperfect, person.

The use of good guy or bad guy for a person doesn't make much sense.

I'll just list some major facts about Columbus and let you make your own conclusions.

Christopher Columbus believed the world was round. Others during his time didn't believe so. Columbus also thought that the world was smaller than what it actually is, principally because North America and South America were not yet discovered. Columbus went to many people and asked them to fund him, and finally the King and Queen of Spain funded him. When Columbus reached the Americas, he treated the natives harshly. He took their wealth, such as gold, etc, and made the natives slaves. And he brought back the riches of the Caribbean to Spain. Columbus never knew that he had stumbled across an undiscovered land, and instead thought he had reached India, where he was originally going for, and so he called the natives "Indians."

Hope that helped :)
