Not so ironically, the exact same year that Columbus arrived in the Americas, the Spanish Inquisition was ramped up and all Jews were either forcibly converted to Christianity or killed with the exception of the hundreds of thousands who fled to North Africa where they were further traumatized byt the Muslims and could not return home to Spain. So that "tiny period" included genocide and plundering on two continents in the Americas and in Europe. Other than that, yeh, lots to be proud of.
Happy Columbus Day !

What about all the Christians the muslims slaughtered ?
What about all the people the muslims slaughter today in the name of their so called religion. The Spanish inquisition happened in the 1300’s and 1400’s. The Muslims are slaughtering people as we speak.

As I said in another post, the reason the left despises Columbus and lies about him is because he is another example of a Great European White Man that achieved greatness and changed the world. The left wants to try and erase from history every great white man with the goal of enhancing( exaggerating ) contributions from the lefts list of “victims” even if those contributions are very minimal or even non existant.
As soon as the left gets wind of any possible negative story about a Great White European, especially a Christian, they sieze upon it, magnify it, and ultimately embelish it. The left has no limits but they will NEVER erase the greatness achieved by Great man such as Columbus.
If Columbus was black, there would be no such thing as Indigenous People day, it would be called Columbus day by everyone, not just those that celebrate true history.

It does not stretch credulity that he would treat Indians at or worse level than Spaniards. Y'all make it sound like the Spanish gave a fuck about recording Indian atrocities yet still his mistreatments are well documented. Think Slaves in the South/caribbean.
Columbus, Cortez, Pizarro were savage when savage was celebrated.
These states are ditching Columbus Day to observe Indigenous Peoples' Day instead
By AJ Willingham, Scottie Andrew and Dakin Andone, CNN

(CNN)Columbus Day has been a political lightning rod for states, cities and municipalities around the US for years now. Some have decided to do something about it.
A number of states have moved to officially observe Indigenous Peoples' Day, or some version of it, instead -- a holiday to recognize the native populations that were displaced and decimated after Christopher Columbus and other European explorers reached the continent.
Biden becomes first president to issue proclamation marking Indigenous Peoples' Day
Most prominently, President Joe Biden became the first US president to issue a proclamation commemorating Indigenous Peoples' Day, writing that Monday was a day on which the country "celebrates the invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples, recognizes their inherent sovereignty, and commits to honoring the Federal Government's trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations."
Columbus Day is technically a federal holiday, which means it is recognized by the US government and thus brings the closure of non-essential government offices, and, usually, places like post offices and banks.
But states and local governments can choose not to observe a federal holiday. And, as is the case with a growing number of cities and states, they can change the name and intent of the October holiday altogether.
As many as 130 cities across the country have ditched Columbus Day for Indigenous Peoples Day -- and the list grows yearly.
Alaska: Observes Indigenous Peoples' Day as of 2017. Gov. Bill Walker signed observances of the holiday in 2015 and 2016 before making the switch official in 2017.
Hawaii:Observes Discoverers' Day in place of Columbus Day, with state law describing it as a day "in recognition of the Polynesian discoverers of the Hawaiian Islands."
Why the jump in the Native American population may be one of the hardest to explain
Maine: Observes Indigenous Peoples' Day as of 2019, when Gov. Janet Mills said it was a step "in healing the divisions of the past, in fostering inclusiveness" and "in telling a fuller, deeper history."
Nebraska: Beginning in 2021, the state will recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day in addition to Columbus Day.
New Mexico: Observes Indigenous Peoples' Day as of 2019. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said the day would celebrate the state's "23 sovereign indigenous nations and the essential place of honor native citizens hold in the fabric of our great state."
Oklahoma: In 2019, the state voted to move Native American Day to the same day as Columbus Day so the two could be celebrated concurrently.
Oregon: Passed a law in 2021 designating the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples' Day.
South Dakota: Has observed Native American Day since 1990.
Vermont: A law was passed in 2019 replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day.
States and DC that have observed Indigenous Peoples Day via proclamations
Arizona: In 2020, Gov. Doug Ducey signed a proclamation recognizing October 12 that year as Indigenous Peoples' Day in addition to Columbus Day, per CNN affiliate KNXV.
California: In addition to commemorating Native American Day in late September, Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed yearly proclamations marking Indigenous Peoples' Day on the second Monday in October.
Iowa: Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds made a proclamation in 2018 designating Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples' Day.
Louisiana: The Pelican State doesn't recognize Columbus Day. Gov. John Bel Edwards declared October 14, 2019, the state's first Indigenous Peoples' Day.
Canada set to pay billions to Indigenous children removed from their families, court rules
Michigan: On October 14, 2019, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared the day to be Indigenous Peoples' Day "to uplift our country's indigenous roots, history, and contributions."
Minnesota: In 2019, Gov. Tim Walz signed a proclamation declaring the second Monday in October that year as Indigenous Peoples' Day. The state is home to 11 tribal nations.
Nevada: Gov. Steve Sisolak signed a proclamation in 2020 marking October 12 that year as Indigenous Peoples' Day, saying, in part, that it "allows us to rethink our history" and recognize "the important contributions of Indigenous People in the State of Nevada."
North Carolina: Gov. Roy Cooper has made yearly proclamations designating the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples' Day.
Virginia: In 2020, Gov. Ralph Northam declared Monday the first Indigenous Peoples' Day in Virginia, calling it an "important step in creating an inclusive, honest Commonwealth." The state is home to 11 native tribes.
Wisconsin: Gov. Tony Evers established Indigenous Peoples' Day via an executive order days before the observance in 2019.
Washington, DC: The DC Council voted to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day a few days before the 2019 observance.
Chicago and Illinois...
On Friday, President Joe Biden issued a presidential proclamation calling on Indigenous Peoples’ Day to be celebrated along with Columbus Day on October 11.
Illinois began recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ Day on the last Monday in September in 2017, NBC Chicago reports, though some lawmakers have since introduced legislation to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
