As time goes on, some people 's attitude towards Christopher Columbus is still negative. The statue has been destroyed, destroyed, replaced, even at the name of Columbus Day, changed to the day of the earth, and the name should have a place on the calendar for a while. Many people argue that Christopher Columbus massacred indigenous peoples living in the land of the New World. What is genocide? Nobody has thought about massacre of Christian Armenians at the beginning of the 20th century and genocide of Jews during World War II.
In addition to the murder of Christian Columbus and the American Indians where his people were personally involved Columbus also caused one of the longest and most deadly genocide in history. When Columbus landed in 1492, it was estimated that there were from 10 million to 15 million indigenous people in the area, and now it is made up of the United States. By the year 1880, there were 300,000 people to start debate over public opinion (whether it simply killed the remaining people and they completed them or were "civilizing"). Although much of death is actually caused by illness rather than homicide, it is desperate to ignore indigenous living always a conscious public policy of the 19th century will eradicate the population of native Americans. For example, in 1851 and 1852, in California alone, we allocated over $ 1 million to the scalp of native American, men, women, and children.
