Zinn completely over exaggerates how Columbus was such a bad person. We can forget without him we probably wouldn't be alive. And in his time it was ok to take slaves. This was something that he grew up with.

Zinn emphasizes the facts with adjectives and verbs that are associated with negativity. For example, rather than saying “Columbus and his men looked for gold and slaves” he chooses to replace “Columbus and his men” with gang and “slaves” with women and children.

Yes, Zinn exaggerated a whole lot about Columbus, this is because he is very against Columbus so everything that he wrote made him look awful, and things he did that were bad, Zinn writes them like they were horrendous. He definitely exaggerated what he did to the poor Native Americans. He also goes in great depth about how Columbus was a super selfish and greedy pig, and that he did not want to share a penny with his crew. He goes into extra detail about all the bad things he did, and makes no effort to put in an optimistic twist.
