Answer:

1.Christopher Columbus was a fraud.2. He was indeed a brave and prolific explorer.  3.but he also was a brutal evil man who never even made it to the place that is now the United States.4. We all believe that Columbus is a villain than a hero.

5.First of all, according to Wikipedia, A hero (masculine) or heroine (feminine) is a person or main character of a literary work who, in the face of danger, combats adversity through feats of ingenuity, bravery or strength, often sacrificing their own personal concerns for a greater good. However, based on what we have learned about Christopher Columbus, what he did has nothing to do with the definition of hero. His motivation to take the travel was to arrive in India, a country in east Asia, to obtain gold. From this perspective, his motivation was not noble. In addition, he did not arrive in India.

Secondly, he set a bad example to colonists came later. According to the article “Christopher Columbus: Hero or Murderer?” by Whitney DeWitt, it is said that “Columbus’s arrogance and exploitation regarding slavery began on his second voyage. Ferdinand and Isabella had ordered that the natives be treated kindly. In opposition to this order, Columbus began exporting slaves in great numbers in 1494.” His way to treat the native residents was improper and rude, which is bad model to colonists who came later. A hero is supposed to be a decent man who get rid of bad reputation. Columbus’ behavior did not conform to the standard.

Because of the reasons given above, it will be hard to classify Christopher Columbus as a hero. His motivation to come to American continent was not noble. He set a bad example to colonists who came later. In addition, his arrival caused a catastrophe to local residents. Therefore, he is more like a villain than a hero.

Which statement about the Emancipation Proclamation is true?
77julia77 [94]

Answer: It was an attempt to free only the slaves in the Confederacy, not the Border States or areas under Union control.

Explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 by President Lincoln freed the slaves in the Confederate states. This made the war about slavery and therefore ensured that European countries did not support the Confederacy and that the Union ranks increased as African Americans signed up for the war.

Sadly the proclamation did not free the enslaved people who were in the Border states or in areas under Union control because the President did not want these areas to join the Confederacy.
