Rethinking Our History
In this new weekly show from the host of The Paranormal Lovers we take a look at some of histories less well known events. Why are they less well known? Because " History is written by the victors."
So we are here to look at the other side of the story, and to give people a starting point to learn about the true history of this country.
Rethinking Our History
Episode 46 Christopher Columbus Part 2:
Ugh, this guy. So glad this is the last I'm gonna have to talk about this douche canoe.
Colombo was not the hero he has been made out to be. No, he is not known to be a kind man by historians, cutting off hands for missed taxes, " giving" native women to his friends to do with what they wanted, and forcing native people into dark dank mines to extract the resources deep under ground.
His arrival opened the door for all matter of men with cruel, greedy intentions to sail across the sea in search of fortune, with absolutely no regard for the lives of those who already inhabited the land.
And so next year when " Columbus Day rolls around, learn about the local native community in your area and get involved with their community. It is the least we can do after being given the gift of birth on their land by the Creator.
