I think that columbus is a villian because he kidnaped people from a island and stole their gold.

I think Columbus is villain. Because he claimed all the land his, he took 6 natives, and all he cares about is gold! And that is why I think Columbus is a villain.

Christopher Columbus is a villain because he thought that he was in India but he wasn't and that he was on helpful. That is why Christopher Columbus is a villain.

I think Christopher Columbus is a villain because he would cut people's hands off if they didn't get him gold.

he is villain because he thinks the people are giving him gold but he is making them give him it. how he is doing that is saying give my gold or i will kill you and they were afraid so they gave him every thing.

I think that columbus was a villain. He KIDNAPPED 4 "Indians", traded worthless things for their precious, and threatened to kill one of the "indians" with his sword and crossbow. These are some reasons why I think Columbus was a villain.

I think that Christopher Columbus is neither, because he found land and brought new objects back to Spain, but he also was giving threats to the Native Americans.

I think Columbus was a villain. For one thing he did not discover America. Where do you think the natives come from? Asia. Plus Leaf Erikson found it as well. And think about what he did to the natives. Captured, kidnapped, religion turned. He was not a hero at all.

I think that Columbus is a villain. I think that he is because Columbus captured the natives that he found and took credit for discovering North America when really Leif Erikson discovered North America.Thouse are just a few resons why I think Columbus is a villain.

I think christopher columbus is neither because he is not really a hero or villian. He is not a hero because he was not really in India. Columbus didn't discover what he thought he was supposed to.

I think Christopher Columbus is a villain. I think so because he captured people and brought them to Spain against their will. Also, he takes credit for discovering land that he didn't discover. He also claimed land for Spain that others had already claimed. This is why Cristopher Columbus is a villain.

I need to say that I think Columbus is not a good person and is a bad person. That means I would be saying he is a villain.
