I say this as an American, from the bottom of my heart I wish Christopher Columbus never existed.
There was a French explorer who "discovered" America four years before Columbus. So Columbus' erasure wouldn't even affect the one purpose he had.
The acts of Christophorus Columbus directly perpetrated by him range from holocaustic to apocalyptic in scale.
Christophorus
You missed the opportunity to call him Mr. Christoffelees.
It's his non-anglicized name.
Oh... I thought it was a pun on phosphorus used as a jab.
Well there goes me but at least my native ancestors would have had a chance to thrive.
I'm a white dude that's obsessed with Mesoamerican history. Holy fuck I would prefer the civilization your ancestors would come up with than what my idiot dirt farmer progenitors from Europe ended up creating.
I've good news, the continent's fate was sealed long before that because colonialism was never going to stop.
