Columbus was a murderer, slaver, and a rapist. But since whites got to write history, they made him a hero.
The deeper you dig on true history, the more you will be disgusted. You also learn, based on lie after lie after lie, war after war after war, not to believe anything touted as the official story. Everyone is lied to, all the time, even today. Americans, Chinese, Cubans, Koreans, you name it. Those lies help build national pride and indoctrinate future generations who will perpetuate the lies and continue nation building. That's how it works. It's even worse in places like China where their information is filtered and censored by the government.
