He was, in fact, remarkably eager to treat the natives humanely. And there were natives who were very happy to see him. As <a href=\"https:\/\/latterdaysaintmag.com\/will-the-real-columbus-please-stand-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Meridian Magazine<\/em> explains<\/a>, native chief King Guacanagari asked for Columbus\u2019s help in defeating an enemy tribe of cannibals, who were \u201cdestroying\u201d Guacanagari\u2019s tribe. Columbus assisted Guacanagari to defeat the cannibals, and then sent captured cannibals as slaves to Spain. But his motivation for the latter action is far more humane than you might think, as he wrote to the Spanish monarchs, \u201cWe send by these two vessels some of these cannibal men and women, as well as some children, both male and female. Their Highnesses can order them to be placed under the care of the most competent persons to teach them the language.\u201d Columbus added that he hoped the slaves \u201cmay one day be led to abandon their barbarous custom of eating their fellow-creatures. By learning the Spanish language in Spain, they will much earlier receive baptism and ensure the salvation of their souls.\u201d Columbus wanted to help even cannibals and enemies in the best way he knew how \u2014 by trying to get them to Heaven. Would Leavitt be that generous to men who had previously tried to kill and eat him?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spectator.org\/historical-falsification-columbus-crimes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The American Spectator<\/em> wrote<\/a> that the \u201ccrimes\u201d of which Columbus is perpetually accused, including genocide and mass enslavement of natives, are \u201ca total fabrication.\u201d <em>The Spectator<\/em> cited original documents and noted that Columbus even defended natives against the Spanish.<\/p>\n<p><em>Meridian Magazine<\/em> describes Columbus by noting, \u201cHis relations with the natives tended to be benign.
