I agree that he did horrible things, the Spaniards, Portuguese and British continually attacked the natives, but I do not agree to carry out an analysis in a decontextualized way.

Many people of the past, from all ages, have done things that today are atrocious, but at that time they did not, and even often believed to be humanitarian. If our ancestors had not done these actions we would probably not know the damage we are doing today, it was necessary to do many of those things to know that we made a mistake.

Those who committed these atrocities were the ones who later tried to mend it, since it was not the natives that made the American countries independent, and it was not they who managed to rejoin society alone.

I do not say that it should be forgotten, or that it should be praised or celebrated, but rather that it must be placed in the correct historical period and context.

Colombia has that name by Christopher Columbus, and I do not think it should be changed, which if I think we should change our perception of the world.

I live in Venezuela, and never had a day in Colon, formerly called the "Race day", and is now called "Day of Indigenous Resistance", this shows a change in the perception of history, and it is good. But I do not think either that we should blame the Spaniards for colonizing them, since if it were not done, where would we be now?
