I feel that this image represents Columbus' discovery of America. I feel that it was unfair for Native Americans to be forced out of their own homes and even killed. It is now taught that he was the one who discovered America, when people were already living there for centuries. Columbus is given credit for too much, and all he did was introduce the Americas to the rest of the world. This was not his initial job, he was supposed to find a quicker route to India for trade. But he failed because he underestimated the world's size.
I will admit, Columbus has made a large contribution to history, but overall he is a failure. He was unable to find a quicker trade route, and when he did find land he mistreated the people on it. Not that he himself killed all of them, but he was the initial finder and started the disrespecting of the Native Americans.
