He started the slave trade. He set up the first plantations, enslaving the local natives to work on them until they died and needed to be replaced by African slaves, in the new world to grow tobacco to export to Europe (also got the European royalty hooked on Tobacco).

Yeah, this isn't true. Columbus did bring some nativs back to Spain as slaves, but Spain was already using Africans as slaves.
Man, you libs really like to bend the truth.

How could he have started the slave trade. Slavery has been since the beginning of civilization and is still real in some areas of the globe.
