Monuments honoring Christopher Columbus are being defaced and destroyed. This year’s

Columbus Day celebrations will spark strong debate over the explorer’s legacy, but by looking

at Columbus in the big picture of history, one can see today’s anti-Columbian fury is either

misguided or part of a blind political agenda to demonize early European activity in the New

World.

First, let’s consider the matter of European disease transmission, principally smallpox, which

is estimated to have killed 70 to 80 percent of Native Americans. While those numbers are

staggering, the deaths happened over many decades. Holding Columbus responsible is

beyond preposterous. Further, calculating an actual number of deaths is impossible because

estimates of pre-Columbus populations vary enormously. In Hispaniola, for example, the range

runs from 250,000 to 3 million.
