Wow, Columbus does not come off well in the 2nd chapter. In the 1490's Columbus begins the trans-Atlantic slave trade by sending 100s of Indians back to Spain (partly because he couldn't find gold to send). Only De Las Casas comes off as fair and humane as he chronicles the disdeeds of the Spanish conquerers.
