Trump Wants Columbus Day Back—History Shows Columbus Was a Monster

Trump says he’ll “bring Columbus Day back.” But what do the primary sources say about Christopher Columbus himself?

🔴 1492 log — “They would make fine servants…”

🔴 1495 letters — enslaved women awarded to officers

🔴 1500 arrest — witnesses swear he sold girls “from nine to ten” into forced servitude

In this video we unpack Columbus’s own words, the sworn depositions that got him shipped home in chains, and why every one of the 368 treaties the United States signed with Native nations has been broken. We also explore Indigenous political systems—like the Haudenosaunee Confederacy—that helped inspire America’s founders.
