Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This act is part of the historical record and reflects the brutal practices of the era, contradicting any notion of him prohibiting or abolishing the enslavement of indigenous peoples. Columbus's actions also did not initiate the idea to enslave African peoples, as the trans-Saharan and Indian Ocean slave trades predated his voyages.
