Columbus was traveling for the country of Spain and the purpose of his voyage was for spices and silks.
Yes columbus knew the earth was round he knew the earth was round even before he started to travel.
Columbus never did reach his destination because when he sailed to the west he reached the Americas instead of Asia because he didn't realize that there were other continents.
Columbus treated the people there badly he would make children the age of !4 and older work in mines and as slaves.
Our opinion of columbus and his men are that he was not good to other people from the Americas and he only sailed for money and trading purposes.

Answer: I think that Columbus and his men are cruel people. Who do they think they are taking away the land that that people lived in and that is rightfully there's. It's great that they found a new place, but you have to think if that was you who dedicated your whole life to trying to create a new place and haveing it all taken away from you and being slaves to a place you used to call a loveing and careing home.
