Columbus: Lies of A New World
$13.95
No event in human history has changed the world more than the Columbian Exchange, the melding of the “Old” and “New” Worlds initiated by Christopher Columbus’s famous voyage. It opened a new era of global trade, largely depopulated and then repopulated two continents, and began a transfer of plant and animal life that literally changed the face of the planet. Yet the decidedly mixed blessings of this exchange—and Columbus’s undeniable violence and greed—make him the most hotly debated figure in American history.
