So we gave them Small Pox, Flu and Measles in exchange for syphilis and hepatitis. I'm not sure who got the worse of it.
Well, the Spanish did eventually end the native practices of human sacrifice, child murder, cannibalism, slavery, and constant warfare as practiced by the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas.
Didn't we also get corn and potatoes out of the transition?

Lol..nice segue into something that has nothing at all to do with the thread...but hey, never miss a chance to dump on Islam, right?
I doubt that Mohammad is given much time in our primary classrooms..if you think he should be taught in more depth..perhaps a letter to the school board?

BTW, the thread IS about the left "re-writing" history to attack American history and that of Europeans-while ignoring the atrocities of every other race and culture in history. Why do our schools teach about the horrors of Nazism, but not, say the practices of the Japanese during WWII-which were at least as bad and vile as anything the Nazis did? They attack Columbus-but ignore the millennia of warfare and slavery practiced by native American tribes. Attack American history for the 4% of the country that once owned slaves-but ignore that slavery is still being practiced in parts of Africa and the ME-especially where Islam is dominant.
