Christopher Columbus: Hero or Villian?
I feel that Christopher Columbus is a hero because he opened up Europe to a New World that they never new existed. He is responsible for the Europeans coming to America and all of the European influence that we have today on our great nation. Although there were some drawbacks to his arrival, particularly for the Native Americans, some of the Exploreres and Columbus' actions were done unknowledgable. To the Explorers and Columbus, the Native Americans were foreign and the Europeans had never seen them before. Also the major killer of disease was not purposely spread because the Europeans were not aware of it upon arrival. Overall Christopher Columbus help bring over Europeans and modernize and improve the country that it was into the bustling, successful nation that it is today.
