How Did Columbus Affect Human Progress

Upon returning to the islands, Columbus discovered the men left behind at the new settlement had been killed and the settlement destroyed. Against the queen's wishes, Columbus captured many Indians and turned them into slave and made them rebuild the settlement. This pattern would continue for Columbus. He would return to Spain a third and a fourth time getting more ships and bringing back Indian slaves and treasures. He would eventually return to Spain to stay. He died there on May 30,
