I believe Christopher Columbus was most definitely a villain to some and a hero to others! To me and probably most Native Americans, Columbus was a villain, while to others (such as Europeans and the king of this time period) he may seem to be a hero. Christopher Columbus was infamous and famous for a lot of things, such as conquering new lands (in primarily South and North America) and causing the genocide for many peoples native to the America's in his search for gold an conquest. He gained new lands for the Spanish King and Queen, but in doing so, spread disease and chaos throughout the America's. While it was arguably not his fault he spred these diseases, it was his fault that he first traveled to these new lands in search of the Indes. Columbus was an inspiration to some, and evil to others. To me, he was a villain, and he did a lot more bad in the world than good.
