@profmsinha.bsky.socialReposted by @profmsinha.bsky.socialHistorian here happy indigenous peoples day. Columbus was arrested by the Spanish monarchy for his atrocities. Italian American immigrants at the turn of the twentieth century claimed him. Wish they had gone with Mazzini or Garibaldi. Columbus was from Genoa long before Italy was united as a nation
@daviddillard.bsky.socialReposted by @profmsinha.bsky.socialI like Amerigo Vespuccis description of the Equality of men and women among Native people he met! He ascribed that to women’s ability to end a pregnancy at will by using a “trick”! But Vespucci got his book put on the Index if banned books by the Church!#Amerigo

@profmsinha.bsky.socialYeah unlike Columbus who never set foot in British North America.
