How was Christopher Columbus a villain

Dude......this guy was bad--like BEYOND bad.  Columbus led us into a world of slavery, killing, raping and enslaving innocent natives; nearly wiping out whole populations of people.  Columbus "oversaw the killings of some (Natives) and ordered the enslavement of others." So it isn't surprising that he didn't prevent his crewmen from raping the innocent natives.  Even he raped a Native American woman himself after beating her "with a piece of rope".  If these actions don't scream villainy, I don't know what does.  Honestly, it burns me up that people put this piece of garbage on a pedestal and call him a hero when he didn't do squat.   We could have done just fine without him.  Someone else would have discovered the New World within 10 years (according to historians).  Also, something that history textbooks seem to get wrong is that he wasn't the only one who believed that the earth was round.  Plenty of people had proposed ideas of similar voyages to Columbus, but of course, teachers don't bother to tell us that.  <span>On his second trip to the New World, Columbus brought cannons and attack dogs. If a native resisted slavery, he would cut off a nose or an ear. If slaves tried to escape, Columbus had them burned alive. Other times, he sent attack dogs to hunt them down, and the dogs would tear off the arms and legs of the screaming natives while they were still alive. If the Spaniards ran short of meat to feed the dogs, Arawak babies were killed for dog food. </span><span>Columbus' acts of cruelty were so unspeakable and so legendary - even in his own day - that Governor Francisco De Bobadilla arrested Columbus and his two brothers, slapped them into chains, and shipped them off to Spain to answer for their crimes against the Arawaks. But the King and Queen of Spain, their treasury filling up with gold, pardoned Columbus and let him go free. </span><span>One of Columbus' men, Bartolome De Las Casas, was so mortified by Columbus' brutal atrocities against the native peoples, that he quit working for Columbus and became a Catholic priest. He described how the Spaniards under Columbus' command cut off the legs of children who ran from them, to test the sharpness of their blades. According to De Las Casas, the men made bets as to who, with one sweep of his sword, could cut a person in half. He says that Columbus' men poured people full of boiling soap. In a single day, De Las Casas was an eyewitness as the Spanish soldiers dismembered, beheaded, or raped 3000 native people. "Such inhumanities and barbarisms were committed in my sight as no age can parallel," De Las Casas wrote. "My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature that now I tremble as I write." </span>

What is important to remember about the stories you include in your presentation
o-na [289]
Show your Passion and Connect with your Audience
Be enthusiastic and honest, and the audience will respond.
<span>Focus on your Audience’s Needs
</span>You need to make it easy for your audience to understand and respond.
Keep it Simple: Concentrate on your Core Message
And if what you are planning to say doesn’t contribute to that core message, don’t say it.
Smile and Make Eye Contact with your Audience
If you smile and make eye contact, you are building rapport, which helps the audience to connect with you and your subject. It also helps you to feel less nervous, because you are talking to individuals, not to a great mass of unknown people.
<span>Start Strongly
</span>The beginning of your presentation is crucial. You need to grab your audience’s attention and hold it
.<span>Remember the 10-20-30 Rule for Slideshows
</span>Slideshows should c<span>ontain no more than 10 slides; last no more than 20 minutes; and use a font size of no less than 30 point.
</span><span>Use your Voice Effectively
</span><span>Use your Body Too
</span>Make your gestures open and confident, and move naturally around the stage, and among the audience too, if possible.
<span>Relax, Breathe and Enjoy
</span>If you can bring yourself to relax, you will almost certainly present better. If you can actually start to enjoy yourself, your audience will respond to that, and engage better. Your presentations will improve exponentially, and so will your confidence. It’s well worth a try.
