      All humans were pieces of shit back then. Judging them by today’s standards is bullshit.

        You know that even Columbus’ contemporaries condemned him, right?

        Columbus’ cruelty was recognized in his own day. Spanish churchmen condemned him for carrying off women from their husbands and subjecting them to the pleasures of other men. Friar Bartolomeo de las Casas, who accompanied Columbus on his third voyage, wrote, “The silence.” His published accounts included contemporary illustrations of native mothers drowning their children to save them from Spanish cruelty.
