Susan Moore and Kristen Lippert.
He was traveling for Spain and he was looking for spices and exotic land.
He did because when he was traveling he went in a circle. If the Earth was flat then he would fall off of the Earth.
He did not reach his destination. He landed in America.
He made all of them dig for gold. He did not treat them well.
My opinion is that he wants the most money that he can get and they are very hard working. They don't give up.
1.He was traveling to Indies, searching for a faster, western route to Indies.
2.Yes, because it was proven the earth was round, centuries before his time.

Columbus was serching for a rout to India to gain fame and wealth. He relized that the earth was round beacause of earlier scientists findings. He didn't reach India instead he reaches the west Indies. Colubus treated the people there cruley and he made them slave to dig for gold. We think that Columbus was very cruel.
1. Columbus was traveling for India to get spices for the spice trade so he could make money.
2. Yes, Columbus knew that the earth was round. Pathagurais therozied that the earth was round many years before and Aristotle saw the earths round shadow on the moon during the lunar eclipse.
3. No, he landed somewhere in the
West Indes.
4. He treated the people as slaves. He beat them and made them dig for gold starting at the age of fourteen. Gold was value-less to the natives but slaverly was normal where Columbus coming from.
5. They shouldn't have been so mean to the natives. They also should have figured out that they weren't in India when they did not get spices for the spice trade.

1. Columbus was traveling for India to get spices, silk and gold.
2. He realized that the Earth was round because he thought that he could sail around the world and get to India.

3.No he did not reach his destination he reached the Americas. He had plotted 10,000 miles off course.
4.He treated the people there as slaves and they are worthless.
5.We feel like he was to greedy and treated the people wrong.
Core C- tyler wernke john wodetzki
1. He was travelling to India and he was looking for another trade route to India for spices.
2. He knew the world was round because earlier in time people had already inferred it was.
3. No, he landed in North America, but he still thought he had reached his destination.
4. He treated them terrible, he beat them and made them his slaves to mine for gold.
5. There cruel, vile, greedy men, but that was the common misconception in the middle ages, no one knew any better. So he's not seen by me as as much of a terrible person as I would if this would've happened in modern times.
Madison Thomas, Andrew Wall. :DD
1.) Columbus was trying to travel to the country India to navigate a route there and to retrieve the spices and goods India was known for.
2.) He did realize that the world was round because an astronomer centuries before him had discovered it.
3.) He did not reach India, instead, he reached what we know today as America.
4.) He and his men treated the native people very poorly and forced them to mine for gold if they were above the age of fourteen.
5.) We think that he was a great discoverer and contributed greatly to the world of discovery but he and his men had no respect for the people who lived in America at the time.

5. We think that Columbus and his men were okay guys. Columbus was brutal to the natives. However, if they didn't show athority to the natives he would not earn respect easily.

1. Columbus was going to India to Spain, for silk and spices.
2. Yes, he thought that it was round, he thought that was round because he was going to travel west and then soon he'd reach Asia if he kept going around the earth.
3. No, he did not reach his destination, he thought he did, but he didn't he reached North America.
4. He treated them as slaves, because when he did go to Asia he was like the "king"so he treated them as he did when he was there before.
5. I think that were mean to treat them the way the treated the people that lived on North America. But then i also think that it is cool that they "traveled around the world" on boat, because it was a long journey.
1. Columbus was looking for India to get the spices and was trying to find a route across the pacific.
2. He knew the earth was round and used that to his advantage to try to go to India.
3. He did not land at his destination. He landed somewhere in Cuba.
4. He enslaved them.
5. To me Columbus and his men were like a rag-tag version of Conquistadors.
1.He was going to Asia, and he was going there to trade spices. Traders who shipped between Asia and Europe could get rich fast.
2.Yes. Because, Aristotle saw the Earth's shadow during an eclipse, so Columbus agreed with him.
3.No, he landed somewhere in the West Indies, but he thought he was in India.
4.He treated them very badly, he forced them to search for gold and if they didn't find any he would kill them.
5.My opinion of Columbus and his men is that they are very cruel people.
