Hey, that's a whole lot of text and post to read to find out what most of us already know. I think only pretty young kids still hold the impression that Columbus was someone to be admired. Most adults I know understand that 1. He didn't discover America, 2. He was greedy and cruel is his dealings with native peoples. Not much new here. Unless I am wrong about most adults already understanding this.
He did have enormous faith (or foolhardiness) to attempt a trans-atlantic crossing at a time when all of his contemporaries insisted that it couldn't be done.
