Michael Knowles Slams Professor Claiming Columbus "Stole Land"

[BFritz21]

I had never thought about it this way and kind of always thought that it was kind of unfair for Columbus and the European settlers to take the land from the Native Americans. I always just kind of justified it by saying that it was just the expansion of the world and that it was inevitable.

However, listen to this point made by Michael Knowles when he slams Columbus for stealing the Native Americans' land and points out that the Native Americans were battling each other and stealing land from one-another, so how is that different than what Columbus did? Just because he had more advanced weapons and technology, that somehow makes it worse than what the Native Americans were doing to each other?

Am I the only one that's just now thinking of that?

Is it wrong to think that way?

If so, why is it wrong?
