This is an interesting video which puts to rest the lies about Christopher Columbus started by Howard Zinn. The crux of it is that most of the crap you've heard about Columbus being an idiot, a poor explorer, and someone who committed a genocide against the Natives are basically lies (though he wasn't completely innocent.) This video uses primary sources (Columbus's journal among them) to prove this.

That is what the statement inside the bracket is for. |
