When the person or event your trying to protect from modern judgement has had a lasting negative effect, than that negative effect is the legacy left, and therefore what we should remember. ]]> 2020-10-16 17:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/devlinje/o1v3w5q78pj3flbm/wish/836443915 https://padlet.com/devlinje/o1v3w5q78pj3flbm/wish/836443986 To an extent I think it's true that you can't judge somebody from a completely different time by modern standards but at the same time, Columbus did a lot of bad.
