C.C. Day

it does not say he was so good it just says he did not commit genocide and was not responsible for a lot of the things attributed to him the video is well researched and nothing in it editing wise is very poor how is it a horrible video at all

That's the same video linked on the blog. It's okay, and it does have sources, though not very good ones from an academic standpoint. Still, any sauce at all is a step up from the internet. Obviously my blog post is more about being humorous than rigorous accuracy, but some very basic facts are incontrovertible. Did Columbus discover America? No. Was Columbus' math and understanding of geography lacking? Yes, blatantly. Did Columbus bring back syphilis from the new world? Yes, though it's not exactly like they understood things like symptom remission. Did Columbus do things considered unspeakable by twentieth century standards? Yes, though it's only fair to point out that standards of what was considered moral or ethical were quite different back then. Is it really important? Probably not; nobody took the holiday seriously in my own experience over the last three decades, so I doubt anything will change regardless. ;)
