    Sadly, when you hit people with evidence that what they were taught growing up is the actual revisionist history, they hit back with that unvincible, instoppable rebuttal of “Nuh uh.”

      I don’t know, the more I’ve read about him the more it’s clear he was absolutely a terrible person.

      The good thing with Christopher Columbus is that he was so objectively terrible, that there isn’t really any conflicting information out there. Anything online about him either talks about him finding the americas or it talks about how terrible he was.
