Yes. In 1492, he landed in Hispaniola (DR today) and told the Spanish royalty to build colonies. In 1493, he was appointed governor of the entire island and took the land from the native Taino Indians who he forced to do such unspeakable acts that the Spanish royalty (which endorsed slavery, religious persecution, and denied the freedom of speech) to deport him back to Spain and imprison him.
Technically, yes - he landed in an area of what we call today The Dominican Republic, which is part of the Americas.
Columbus wasn't the explorer who "found" America. The Native Americans were. They used a land bridge made from glaciers. Columbus was thinking he was in India (the spice land).
Since he landed in the Bahamas he saw a tropical island with Native Americans living on it. They were rather poor and didn't have the gold he was looking for. They gave him small items they had made and parrots.
When they got to America, the Native Americans where very nice and brought them food and gifts. But all Christopher Columbus wanted was gold....so he started to cut off their heads.So he fought the native Americans.
Slavery started when Christopher Columbus first came to the Americas. He claimed the land his and enslaved all Native Americans. When Native Americans started to die from the small pox disease, because Christoper Columbus and his crew, they decided to enslaved African Americans and, brought them to the Americas to work because most of them where immune to the disease.
Well, as people say Christopher Colombus discovered America but NO HE DIDN'T. The Indians or native Americans did they were living on that land first but English took claim for Discovering it. The native Americans claim to have traveled from the islands around the world.the vikings also arrived several years before Columbus.

The Native Americans. But if you don't want to go that far back... Spain
Christopher Columbus was planning to land in West India. He did not land in West India because he landed in what is now North America. He thought that he was in West India at first so that is why he called them Indians. Their real name is Native Americans.

To find a quick route to Asia, but he landed in north America instead, but thought it was India. Columbus didn't like the Native Americans that lived on the land, so he took them as slaves, killed them,and sexually assaulted them.

Christopher Columbus. Actualy the history books State That the Native americans First found America using the land bridge. But many(traditional) native americans believe that they came from within the earth...which ties in to ancient astronaut theorists theory that we were visited by Extraterrestrials long ago.
