Zinn isn't telling the truth about how the Spaniards treated the arwarks nicely at all. He killed them too.

¨The sailors roamed the island in gangs looking for gold taking children and women.¨

Zinn says that columbus was hungry for gold it makes him sound like a monster.

Zinn says, “As soon as he arrived in the islands, he seized some Arawaks by force so that he could get information from them.” This is an example of exaggeration because he uses words such as “seized” and “by force” to exaggerate the fact.

Zinn mentioned that almost half of the Natives died by suicide and murder, and were tortured to death

Zinn writes, “Columbus knew the world was round. This meant that he could sail west from Europe to reach the east.” This is vague because he leaves out the fact that Columbus figured out that there was a short route from Spain to the Indies.

Zinn is not telling the full truth when it states,” So they ran away, The Spaniards hunted them down with dogs and killed them. When they took prisoners, they hanged them or burned them to death”

zinn is vague because Columbus promises won him seventeen ships and 1,200 crew members

Zinn over exagerates when he states,“The sailors had roamed the island in gangs looking for gold, taking women and children as slaves.” because it is super specific when they probably didn't roam the island in gangs or just take children and women.

Zinn, mention that all he want to do when he arrive was to capture slaves and money.

Zinn states that,” by 1550, only five hundred Indians remained, a century later no Arawaks were left on the island.” Although some of this might be true not all Indians died from the mass murder and killing. A lot of Indians died from what disease the Spaniards brought over. This disease is known as smallpox. This disease killed a better half of the Indians. Which Zinn chooses to leave out

Zinn exaggerated Columbus and his men searching the islands: "Columbus had his men raid the island in gangs to kidnap hundreds of women and children as slaves."
