Can you name a historical figure who is commonly seen as a hero but is actually quite sinister?
One historical figure often discussed in this context is Christopher Columbus. Traditionally hailed as a heroic explorer who “discovered” America, many modern interpretations of his actions highlight the violence, exploitation, and suffering he and his expeditions inflicted upon Indigenous populations. While Columbus’s voyages had significant historical consequences, the negative impact on the native peoples and the beginnings of colonization present a more complex and darker legacy than the one typically celebrated.
