[@ousamadearu5960]

Well...not exactly. Spain made a very complicated law that any land under the Spanish flag are its citizens, and this included slaves(technically). But when it comes slave brutality, nothing defeats the British(later on the Americans), the Germans, the Belgians, and the Portuguese in terms of sheer and raw brutality. Foreign slaves were a loophole for slave owners, but they have to go through great lengths just to smuggle and own slaves either by buying from African Kingdoms, the Portuguese, and the British.

Columbus was actually looking for the Maluku islands in the East Indies to colonize, not India. he was looking for the Moluccan spice islands but got lost and was sailing to Turtle island. That’s why native Americans are called Indians. European countries fought for the Moluccan spice monopoly that eventually came into Dutch hands. It made the Dutch VOC rich and powerful. (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), the Dutch East India Company would be worth about $7.8 trillion today. Founded in 1602, it accomplished globalist capitalism some 400 years before everyone else did. the country we know as India then had a different name.

​@@AnimeBronx I do. The USA never teaches elementary school children about the Taino. I didn't even hear that name until I was well into adulthood. We learn that Cokumbus "discovered" America. We learn the names of the ships he used and the date he arrived and that he thought he was going to Asia and didn't know he was headed to a "new world". No one tells us that he first arrived in the Carribian and that him and his brothers rapped, tortured, and enslaved the Taino. Nor is it taught that he was removed from the continent by the King of Spain for being found guilty of these abuses and that is why Amerigo Vespucci was sent back, instead, to chart the continent. We also are not taught that Columbus never really ventured into the North America continent and that the reason why so much of South America speaks a version of the Spanish language is because of colonization. I highly doubt there would have been a entire holiday named after Columbus, if more people knew the actual truth and not just the "fluff" they teach in schools. As "eurocentric" as the USA is, you'd think we'd be celebrating the vikings who "discovered" these continents before Columbus stumbled along, since people here seem to hate anyone who speaks Spanish. But Nordic explorers didn't commit genecide and leave a lasting trail of death and pain behind them, so 🤷🏿‍♀🤷🏿‍♀

[@matthewbittenbender9191]

@@madero-jb5ri yes and no. The Jesuit, Franciscan and Dominican missionaries came to North America with the colonists and Conquistadors to try and convert the "heathens" as well as plunder. The plunder was payment to the Kings for mounting the expeditions, but where ever the missionaries went they did try diplomacy which often didn't go as planned. Yet it was attempted time and again. The Church had often taken a "convert or die" approach to non-believers and using the armies of nations to carry their beliefs by force was used far more than missionaries and diplomats. The Anglo, Franco and Hibernian centric beliefs of Imperial Europe was the key factor in the pillaging but the Church could've decreed a better approach if they wanted to.

I'm just curious as to the sources of the information about Christopher Columbus' direct involvement in a lot of the events and atrocities that is attributed to him. Because to my knowledge, a lot of it was derived from the writings of a Bartolomé de Las Casas, where he talks about the deplorable conditions the natives were put through due to Spanish colonization. However, the link to Columbus, to my knowledge, was put forth by an excerpt written by Howard Zinn where he claims that Bartolomé de Las Casas had written about how he personally witnessed Christopher Columbus committing these atrocities. The problem with that is Bartolomé de Las Casas was like 8 years old when CC made landfall in 1492 and Bartolomé de Las Casas didn't actually go to Hispaniola for the first time until 1502. By all accounts, his writings about the things being done to the indigenous people were from the Spanish colonialists, but not directly to Christopher Columbus. Other sources claimed that Christopher Columbus himself simply explored the area, but the Spaniards that came after him after learning about the lands were the ones who basically performed all of the atrocities we know the indigenous people went through. By some accounts the indigenous people liked Columbus and befriended him and that he tried to advocate for them. Of course I don't have proof of either argument, just talking about the conflicting information I have read about. Most of the articles I've read don't cite any sources and simply state things as if "it is known." I am hoping that somewhere there can actually be citations on where we're getting this information from...

The Golden Bird Hello my sister, I live in a Moroccan, I am an Amazigh And I know the history of America a lot. In fact, they are Amazighs from Morocco, and there was an Amazigh king named Yuba the second who sent Berbers to America. 300 years before Islam, the King of Yuba the second sent many Berbers to settle in America and when Islam came, the Azmuri and the Portuguese went to America. 😊

The history of Columbus is very interesting. There are a lot of rumours and facts too. They said there was a physician on Columbus ship, and he strongly protested Columbus and his friends to stay clear of the Natives. I am not sure what his name was, the physician. He urged no co-operation with the natives. They say he even refused to join the expedition inland if Columbus would mingle with the natives ⚠️. Some say he did for deep religious reasons. He thought of the natives as god-less savages. Some say he did it for medical reasons, as we know what happened when small pox and measles spread across the natives. Is this true? Historically?

And this man, Columbus is celebrated in North America, a continent he never stepped foot in, and around the world.

I found out I’m Native American I was so happy. Even though I don’t what my family tribe was I’m still proud to be a Native American

Does anyone have any sources where I can study this

I found out that I have native Taino blood so this is fascinating

Very interesting video. I'd love to see a video about the Apaches, as I live in the middle of what was once their land.

[@johnratican3824]

"Their land"? And who did the Apache take the land from? The Apache migrated to the American Southwest only in the 1600's, from Canada. They weren't there much longer than the Europeans. Actually your precious Apache made their living by stealing food and other items from the Pueblo Indians as well as others. One people takes from another. That is the story of the Human Race. The American Indians are no different and the Noble Savage is a myth.

[@johnratican3824]

@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh Just press your caps lock button again. That way you won't have to type in all capitals. The people the European settlers met here were not native Americans. There was no such political entity as America at the time Europeans came here. The Indians had no precise word for their race. So we conveniently use the term Indian to describe them, for want of another term. The actor who played the hero in Last of the Mohicans who killed Magua to avenge his son's death, was in real life a leader of the American Indian Movement. He himself despised the term native American. He pointed out-correctly-that everyone born in America is a native American. American Indian is a more precise term. Its origin may not be accurate and based on a mistake, but that is true of many words commonly used. People need to stop it with trying to change our language for political correctness.

[@rickkinki4624]

@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh No, the Indians didn't protect their land from illegal immigrants, and they lost their land.

[@rickkinki4624]

@@johnratican3824 Well said. And it's funny, it's not Indians who are offended by anything you say, it's liberals.

[@johnratican3824]

@@rickkinki4624 Thank you. You also brought up an interesting point about illegal immigrants. Yes, Europeans did take the land from the Indians, or Natives if you prefer. But this did not happen all at once. It occurred over three hundred years. Why? Because the native Indian tribes did not unite and gradually Europeans were able to displace them. Over time there was a demographic replacement which led to the changing of the culture of what we call America. The Indians were not able to secure their borders, so they lost control of the country. Their story should provide a lesson to us all to not allow the same thing to happen again. Thank you for your reply and peace!
