Finished more of the Christobal Colon For/Against arguments.

Began a look at some real bad guys - Spanish Conquistadores!
  • Mr. M explained what happened in the years after Columbus "opens" up the Americas.
  • Spain conquers much - but how? An honest look at atrocities and genocide committed at that time.
  • Bartolome de Las Casas - a voice for the native peoples.
  • Read de Las Casas's account of the conquering of Cuba c. 1513.
