About this listen

Brave adventurer and explorer who opened the door to colonization of the United States and the rest of the Americas? Brutal tyrant and oppressor of the indigenous Taino people of the Caribbean? Incompetent mariner who got lost on the way to Asia? There are a lot of thoughts and opinions about Christopher Columbus. But, what are the facts? More importantly, what do they mean for the way we should interpret Columbus' legacy today? On this episode, we'll explore Columbus early life, his quest to find funding for his expedition across the Atlantic to Asia, and his "discovery" of the Caribbean islands and its inhabitants.
