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.
He imported slaves to the new world for the first time, i.e. started the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Also, not a lib, not in favor of removing Columbus from anything, but I understand the arguments progressives use to purge these extremely important political figures from our history.

No he didnt. He enslaved many of the indegenous people he encountered, and sent many natives back to Spain to be sold as slaves.

Couldn't have been because he was the first fella to cross that sumbitch would it? Just because he found a new place to send slaves doesn't mean he started the slave trade.
