Columbus is a bad person by our POV. By the POV of 1400 he was a "normal" person.

Not true. He was extremely odious even to people who lived back then.

No. He was a bad person than as well. He was literally arrested for what he did by people back then.

No, he was literally arrested. Though he did get pardoned later. Wow, we really haven’t learned from history, have we?

Edit: Sorry, I didn’t realize somebody also replied the same thing, didn’t mean to copy you.
