@YAppelbaum But Columbus did set in motion the creation of a Castilian empire on the American mainland. The founders of New England and Virginia held *very* negative views of that Castilian empire - and thus of Columbus. 14/x — PolitiTweet.org

@YAppelbaum By the time the Castilians figured out what had happened in 1492, the Portuguese had already reached India, smashed the Venetian spice monopoly, and founded a trading empire of their own. (Columbus himself of course never accepted that he had not reached India.) 13/x — PolitiTweet.org
