He is used by politicians and other guy  for trying to killin because he was a slaver

People tend to forget that america was discovered  more  than 200 years before Enlightenment when salvery and a bit of torture was normal (even by native American) and Europeans considered cannibalism atrocius (while he was common in America)

Also some genius accused him for genocide, but pretty much all the death in America was caused by disease and people had no idea of this thing in 1500

It was not a hero of course and he died thinking he went to Asia (maybe he did know that was not Asia but he didn't say nothing for not ruin his image)
