Title: Columbus Controversy Submission
Course: Social Studies 08 - 1.0.0.0 > Section: Unit 4: Cultural Exchanges and Exploration

Submit your Columbus Controversy Assignment here.

Remember, your debate, speech, or interview must look at the moral questions about what Christopher Columbus did on his voyages and in his interactions with the Taíno people. In other words, you are not just looking at whether what he accomplished was important, but whether what he did was morally right or wrong and whether or not what he did should be celebrated and admired.
