Despite progressive vilification, Americans continue to celebrate October 12th as the day Christopher Columbus discovered America.* Nevertheless, since the quincentennial celebration (1992) progressives have been denouncing the event as genocide of the peaceful, ecology-minded, indigenous peoples. According to them, Christopher Columbus and his discovery of the Americas is, in short, an epochal catastrophe that should be scorned and vilified.
The revisionist historians and deconstructionists that are a part of academia, and their allies, the media, have taken pains to denounce this event by exaggerating facts and creating others as they go along to support their revisionist views while neglecting, suppressing or ignoring events which do not.
I would like to elucidate some facts regarding Pre-Columbian history prior to the arrival of La Nina, La Pinta, and La Santa Maria. With all due respect to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his â??noble savagesâ? concept, which idealizes primitive man uncorrupted by Western civilization, I would like to relate historical accounts some of which have been thoroughly corroborated by archeological work and anthropological research.
