Who knows?

Answer 3

Although we celebrate this man as if he did something great, all he did was discover the Bahamas. When he did reach America, he became a small scale tyrant. Taxing Native Americans and harming them in unspeakable ways when they couldn't pay the hefty fees.

He showed the rest of Europe that the two continents were ripe for the taking by those who had no opposition to being very ruthless.

If Columbus truly meant what many think he did to this country, one might imagine it would be named after him, but it is not. That honor belongs to Amerigo Vespucci.

Answer 4

1. Took credit for discovering America when there are signs there were people already living here centuries before. Vikings, anyone?

2. Brought syphilis to the Native Americans.

3. Did not find the fountain of youth or streets paved with gold like he promised the Queen. She was really counting on the fountain of youth, too.

4. Enslaved some folk and took them from their families for ever when he sailed back to Portugal.
