Preempting all the "he was a man of his time" apologists:

Columbus was arrested during his lifetime because his actions were considered awful by his contemporaries.

Specifically, Columbus was the first transatlantic slaver - although he went in the nontraditional West-to-East direction. And was imprisoned by Queen Isabel for that shit.

Worst part is, he wouldn't be arrested for genocide in 2024. He would probably be seen as lesser of two evils or something stupid like that.

He'd probably be Trump's running mate.
