Zinn Columbus Reaction

I was surprised by the Columbus Passage, I knew that most people have done bad things in their life, but not like Columbus. Columbus seemed like an awesome adventurer to me, yet in the eleven pages I read my thought of him instantly changed. From a good person to a man killing demon from hell. Yet, most of the things that he did in 1491 was completely fine in that period. Slaves were still used and most people didn't think of the Native American's as People, but as savage beasts. As savage beasts and not actual humans they could do whatever they wanted to do with them. Also Columbus was pressured to get gold and other precious items, like land, and he had to drive them away or work them to death. Though he seems Horrible in our time he was less evil back then. Columbus has done horrible things in his life but has done a lot more great things.

Columbus And New Peoples Notes

Columbus - Hero Adventurer

No one wants to think of why Europeans are in the U.S.

Morrison states that Columbus did commit Genocide, but this is only one page in a 700 page book.

We must not think of the states as our own

The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you dont listen you will not know justice.

Puritans used the Bible to kick the Natives out Romans 13:2 and Psalms 2:8.

Powhatan wanted peace not war, and would give the english what they wanted, but the English wanted to kill the Natives.

They thought that if the Native did not alter the land, they did not claim it.

Also the way to win a war was to:
1.) Destroy to the will to wage war (Total Warfare)
      a.) Massacre
      b.) Destroy Villages
      c.) Steal People
