History actually states that Christopher Columbus was a huge asshole, but he was made some sort of mascot for Exploration to promote America

Just rape, murder, forced labor, enslavement, and disease. Just beginning the killing of 90% of all the natives. So yeah, "not much".

All of which also happened in the conquest of the Canaries, which started a century before him and was still going on when he set sail.

cut to columbus chopping off the hands of native americans who didnt fetch him enough gold..
rosyfingereddawn
cut to the "wars of fire and blood" in New Spain, or Thomas Thislewood, who punished his slaves by having one shit in the mouth of another..
