Zinn exaggerates how badly Columbus' mens were. ¨Him and his men were savages¨]]> 2016-10-17 17:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/abaier1/VE8/wish/131252401 Julia Boydell https://padlet.com/abaier1/VE8/wish/131252504 Zinn exaggerates that Columbus only cared about money. He only states things about money and nothing else. This gives the idea that Columbus only liked money.

Zinn sometimes doesn’t add all the information and the information is very vague. He can be too general when he says Columbus took slaves and doesn’t get into detail.

He is too vague with this statement because he didn’t say how many slaves died. It could be 500 or 50, we don’t know. He isn’t giving detail because he wants to show how many slaves died from Columbus, not on their own. 

Exaggeration- “They had to fill up the ships returning to Spain with something, so in 1495 they went on a great slave raid. “ paragraph 4.  He could have said they just took some slaves with them on their ships, not a “great slave raid”.  He over exaggerated it to make it seem more terrible and cruel.

He didn't even name the ships, or how many people were with him. He just said the route and that they had 3 ships, but finished that information quickly. 
Zinn (Exaggeration) -  Zinn, exaggerated the fact that all Columbus wanted was money, and that he desperately asked the rulers of countries for money. He did want gold and money, but that was only it.

“He set out with three ships, hoping to be the first European to reach Asia by sailing across the atlantic ocean.”
His is a part where Zinn is too vague and general because Zinn is very vague about this despite it being a major part in Columbus’s story this is because if he told the full story, it would make Columbus look like a better man making it harder for the readers to see Columbus the way Zinn does.

Zinn left out the fact about what actually happened at the different islands. He'd keep the good stuff that the Spanish court would like and take away the information that put Christopher Columbus on the bad side of it. He didn't want them to stop giving him boats and other essentials, so he made sure the report had information in the text that the Spanish court would like.

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.

History alive was vague about how they treat the natives.
HI!]]> 2016-10-17 18:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/abaier1/VE8/wish/131256192 Hailey Pataki https://padlet.com/abaier1/VE8/wish/131256246 Exaggeration

Zinn says “The sailors had roamed the island in gangs looking for gold, taking women and children as slaves” This really exaggerated. They probably roamed the island with one or two people but, Zinn uses the word gang making him seem more dangerous and mean.They also probably took men to, but they say women and children to make him seem more harsh. 

Vague

When Zinn talks about how Columbus took 500 slaves to Spain, Zinn mentions that 200 died on the journey. Zinn doesn’t say anything about how they died. Did they die from a disease or did Columbus kill them?
