For the Americans Columbus is good person,Because he did great thing for the Americans but for the Indians he is very bad .but he push the history and he did good thing for the history.even he killed indians but he also did good things no one is perfect.he did bad but he did good too.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Columbus is a hero and also a bad guy. Columbus’s voyage opened new routes. He discovered the existence of North America. These are his very big contributions to the world. His discovery has driven the progress of the world to lay the foundation for the follow-up. Columbus also did some bad things.After Columbus arrived in the Americas, it broke the peaceful life of the local residents. The Western countries exploited, plundered, oppressed and even slaughtered the indigenous people, bringing a deep disaster to the local residents. All in all, i am very difficult to say Columbus is a hero or bad guy, because he really did a lot of good things but also did some bad things.
ReplyDeleteI think is a hero because they discovered a new culture to know more things, may not have the technology now they pushed back hundreds of years so they made a great contribution
ReplyDeleteA little more effort is needed on your posts, Tom.

In my opinion, I think Columbu is a bad guy, because he killed a lot of people, and invade another people’s land. Through Columbu did good things , but if he killed innocent people, then he is bad.
ReplyDeleteShort, Webb. A little more effort on your posts, please.
DeleteThe good side: Columbus's voyage opened up new routes, making the world start to make a whole and making a great contribution; the bad side: after Columbus arrived in the Americas, it broke the peaceful life of the local residents, Western countries to the indigenous Residents have been exploited, plundered, oppressed and even slaughtered, bringing a deep disaster to local residents.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is that Columbus is a hero in the discovery of new land, but Columbus is a bad guy for their brutality. I think their actions have changed the entire race, with a tragic history but his "discovery" is a good thing in world history. Because for his "discovery" there is the present United States.
ReplyDeleteI think Columbus is a bad guy.Although he discovered the North American continent, he killed the indigenous people on the mainland.Even without the emergence of Columbus, the North American continent will be discovered sooner or later.He did not make a great contribution to mankind but brought disaster to many people.
ReplyDeleteSo I think he’s a bad guy.
I think colombus is a hero because to get America from Spain in the year 1492 without knowing that the world was like and getting there it seems to me that many people could not do it and would not dare. On the other hand, I understand that people do not like what they did when they arrived.
ReplyDeleteI don’t deny Columbus arrivals to North America was a disaster for native Americans. His discovery made people at here was killed by gun, diseases they haven’t been through and some off have to be slave. On another hand, Central America is the important discovery in human history by Columbus. Who was the hero started America’s history. I also think killing is the most normal thing. At that time, People had to been through a lot of wars and they weren’t clever as same as people now.
ReplyDeleteYI think cristobal colon was a dirty person, he brought illness to the Indians, a treacherous person, I help in creating a new world, territory, but on my part he was a bad person, selfish and treacherous, he did not really discover america, the one discovered america really was Americo Bespucio, then that's why america is called asi, cristobal colon was a fraud that brought terror to the Indians, also could see good things done, but the saddest of all is that cristobal colon was a fake first of all America.
ReplyDeleteI think Columbus is both good and bad. He was the first to discover the Americas and get in touch with the indigenous people. This is good. But after that, it was wrong for Columbus to slaughter the indigenous people for the sake of gold.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, everybody: it seems that we have mixed feelings about Columbus - like many Americans.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion he was a good because all the thinks he did for the Americans but he wasn’t good with the indians but I don’t know a lot from him but is weird because I think cristobal colon discover America and when he arrive he through it was India.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Columbus can be considered a bad person, but it is not a good person. He has done a lot of good things, such as he discovered North America. He discovered the New World for people and opened up a historical path. Therefore, there are countries such as the United States. But on the other hand, he has done a lot of bad things. For example, when he arrived in North America, he slapped the people above, oppressed, and plundered. Breaking the peace of the past. So he can't be counted as a good person or a bad person, because he has done a lot of good things but has done a lot of bad things.
ReplyDeleteFor Americans, Columbus is a good man because he does a lot of good things for Americans, but for the Indians he is very bad. But he promoted history and he did good things for history. Even if he killed the Indians, he did a good job. One is perfect. He did a terrible job, but he did well. I think he is a good person. After all, the United States is also very good.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Columbus is hero and bad person.I said that he is a hero because he discovered the United States.I said that he is a bad person because Some people in the United States are being persecuted.In summary, this is my point of view.
