Christopher Columbus: Good Guy or Dirty Word?

Read the article I gave you in class. Instead of answering the five question on your syllabus, I want you to give your general perceptions of the article. What is the main point? What is the author's main argument? Do you agree or disagree? Why? Please take some time to carefully consider these questions.
