Original Note:
Spain imprisoned Christopher Columbus for war crimes and stripped him of all titles. Columbus died in 1506 as a penniless criminal believing Hispaniola was India. Thus his reputation has been "destroyed" for more than 500 years. https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/christopher-columbus https://postalmuseum.si.edu/exhibition/celebrating-hispanic-heritage-exploration-christopher-columbus/columbus-imprisoned https://grantpiperwriting.medium.com/the-arrest-and-downfall-of-christopher-columbus-c89fdac48a3b
