Columbus Not a Hero

Columbus crosses the Atlantic
And others call him fantastic
They made us believe that he’s a hero
But he ain’t got anything but zero
Spanish explorers conquer new colonies
So they can expand their territories
For many years they practice slavery
And now is the time to stop that cruelty
All men are created equal
So we should treat others like human
We all have the right to be free
And that’s the way how it should be

I have nothing against Columbus. This is just for fun! Also, this was part of my the debate in my social studies class and I was assigned as Anti-Columbus.
