1492.

1492. As children we were taught to memorize this year with pride and joy as the year people began living full and imaginative lives on the continent of North America. Actually, people had been living full and imaginative lives on the continent of North America for hundreds of years before that. 1492 was simply the year sea pirates began to rob, cheat, and kill them.

    to be honest that guy is very bias, the year 1492 wasnt "simply" the year they robbed, cheated and killed people, it was a year they entered there lives, and being an imperialist nation they didnt think they were doing wrong, who can blame them
