Christopher Columbus

• Bad guy in history– Raped, killed, enslaved natives, – Hispaniola, 1496 (Dominican Republic)– Didn’t find America first– Had no idea where he was. India? China?– Can we judge him?
• Maybe not…no moral compass

Spanish Governing
• Established 4 viceroyalies or divisions of “new world” territory with 4 governors
• Mercantilism: colonies exist for the benefit of the mother country (Spain)
• Didn’t allow for self-rule or native industry– Perhaps a reason why much of S.A. and
Mexico are considered “3rd World” countries?
