Zinn omits the fact that Columbus's original goal was to find a shorter trade route to the Indies.

One-fourth of the way there he came upon an unknown land between Europe and Asia.” paragraph 2. He is downplaying how he actually discovered and new land. He is saying how we just lucky, but he actually did something pretty impressive.

2.He also doesn’t include that many of the Arawaks died from epidemics of smallpox, influenza, and measles. It wasn’t all Columbus and his crew.
