Have you ever wondered if Christopher Columbus is a hero, villain or both? As you read on, you will find some evidence for why he is both a villain and a hero.
Christopher Columbus was indeed a villain. One way that Christopher Columbus was a villain was that he was selfish because he promised his crew that if a crew member spotted a sign of gold, he would give them 10,000 maravedis, Christopher columbus lied to them by claiming the maravedis for himself. Another reason that he was a villain was that he stole the Native Americans and the Taino people. He also tricked the Taino people and the Native Americans. He also began acting in an unfriendly way that they did not think of him as an angel.
Christopher Columbus may seem unfriendly but, he is also part hero. As a hero he was a brave because he crossed the whole Atlantic Ocean with himself and his crew. He is also an excellent navigator, he traveled without any map because the place was not marked. He traveled by the guide of the ocean and the constellations of the stars.
In conclusion, Christopher Columbus is a villain and a hero. We still celebrate his bravery as a day called Christopher Columbus Day. He had a lot of pressure on him, but he did what no other person did, he went West to find East so he could go to India.
