blog assignment 5

History is always written by winners so that people cannot know all of the truth because winners would like to hide the shamed part and to show what they are proud of. However, if the losers wrote the history, it would be totally different. For example, Christopher Columbus, who is seen as a hero because he bravely adventured to sail around and found the New World, actually did many things to the native people that were extremely brutal. When they just arrived at the New World, they could not survive without the help from the native people. However, after overcoming the difficulties, the white men recompensed good with evil. The native people were forces to accept the white people's way of life and were kidnaped to Europe as slaved. The people who refused to follow the white men were all slaughter. Almost all of these bloody history were coverred or mentioned roughly by winners. If the losers wrote the history, they might mention more about the white men’s cruel behavior and how innocent the native people were.
