The Story you Learned

The Story you Learned

• Pg. 57 – Everyone believe the world was flat

• Pg 58 – mutiny and bad weather

• Columbus died never knowing what he “discovered”

• Columbus died poor and unappreciated

The Real Story

• Europeans had guns and wanted to use them

• Arms WAS the cause of European domination

• Because of the printing press people knew of Columbus’ findings. The poor Vikings didn’t have the “press” on their side.

The Real Story

• Real evidence exists that the Afro-Phoenician’s visited the New World long before Columbus. Pg 51&53

• Columbus and EVERYBODY else Knew that the earth was round.

• (pg 57)

The Real Story• “In 1005 the Vikings intended only to settle

Vineland”• “By 1493, Columbus planned to plunder Haiti”• Columbus introduced two phenomena that

revolutionized race relations and transformed the modern world: the taking of land, wealth, and labor from indigenous peoples, leading to their near extermination, and the transatlantic slave trade, which created a racial underclass.

Columbus died not knowing what he discovered?

• Notice the drawing in the lower left corner. After Columbus “discovered” a new continent he had this put on his family crest. He knew!

• And he died well off, not poor.

When Columbus Landed he made demands on the natives

The Requirement

Eu implore o para reconhecer a igreja como uma senhora e no nome da tomada do papa o rei como o senhor desta terra e para obedecer seus mandatos. Se você não a fizer, eu digo-lhe aquele com a ajuda do deus que eu inscreverei poderosa de encontro a você todo. Eu farei a guerra em toda parte e a cada maneira que eu posso. Sujeitar-euo-ei o garfo e obedience à igreja e a seu majesty. Eu de farei exame suas mulheres e crianças e do far-lhes-ei escravos... As mortes e os ferimentos que você recebe de aqui sobre serão sua própria falha e não que de seu majesty nem dos gentlemen que me acompanham.

The Requirement

• The Requirement was read in SPANISH to the natives and when they didn’t comply…. Listen to what it said.

The Requirement

I implore you to recognize the Church as a lady and in the name of the Pope take the King as lord of this land and obey his mandates. If you do not do it, I tell you that with the help of God I will enter powerfully against you all. I will make war everywhere and every way that I can. I will subject you to the yoke and obedience to the Church and to his majesty. I will take your women and children and make them slaves… The deaths and injuries that you will receive from here on will be your own fault and not that his majesty nor of the gentlemen that accompany me”
