Assignment 2
Here are three perspectives on Chritopher Columbus and the arrival of Europeans to the Americas and their impact. Which do you think is the most accurate way of viewing the events of the European arrival?
Christopher Columbus: Hero by Daniel J. Flynn.
Lies my Teacher told Me by James Loewen.
The Columbian Exchange by Alfred Crosby.
"lies my teacher told me" is the best example of the european arrival to the new world because it shows a very realisic view on the spainiards cruelty and dehumanization towards the native americans. these include maming natives for not paying taxes to the conquistadors and the spainish using exessive force against the native rebellions, including the use of all firearms and the use of attack dogs.
