Revealing America’s Dark-Skinned Past, Vol. 2: The Columbian Era

One of the most prevalent fallacies in North American history is the story surrounding Christopher Columbus and the people he encountered. It is interesting to note that early twentieth century histories were stating that Christopher Columbus was trying to prove that the world was round. However, late 19th century historical writings on Columbus (not school text books) make no mention of this revelation. They do however tell in great detail of the carnage that took place on the islands during Columbus' reign. They also describe in detail of the hospitableness of the indigenous people, the gentle nature of the indigenous people (until they had to defend themselves), and that the indigenous people were considered Negroes.
