Christopher Columbus: Hero or villain?

Many believe Christopher Columbus is the founder and father our America today. But many fail to see the underlining true behind his miraculous discovery. Christopher Columbus was the founder villain.

Columbus set out on a voyage with a gruesome bunch of men for his crew with criminals and murders, two boats and few supplies, to find his way to what he thought was a better rout to India to the Indian trade rout. Little did he know he was headed straight to the land of America. when he stumbled upon land he thought it was India and the inhabitants were Indian.

With his arrival he brought new and unknown viruses and diseases with him. That killed over half the American Indian inhabitants. He also brought European deforestation.

A plus to his arrival was with him her brought new plants and animals that the continent had never seen before. The new seeds he brought with him and the followers to the new land carried weed seedlings that spread and now cover the entire continent. Of the animals her European inhabitants brought they brought the pig which proved as a great food source for them but destroyed the crops of the Indians.

The new wide open land provided much farming space for the Americans and the tools the brought including the horse and plow help in a big way.

What Americans have discovered today is Christopher Columbus was not the first to discover the new land but instead that the Vikings were believed to but kept the big secrets to them self for safe keeping.

It most certainly can be debated that Christopher Columbus was the founding father of America but it can be proved that he was in-fact a villain for the many bad things he proceeded in with his discovery
