On the Fact that the Population of England In 1500 Was Approximately 2.1 Million and so this Whole Claim that Columbus and the Spaniards Slaughtered 3 Million Taino Indians On Hispanola, a Place Half the Size of England (With Much of it Uninhabitable) and with an Agricultural Capacity Even Smaller

This of course isn't to say that there weren't atrocities conducted by the Spaniards (the indigenous tribes weren't always angels themselves but that's beside the point) or that the death toll wasn't high but we're talking thousands here not millions and that's a huge difference, no? Granted, the narrative of European villainy ends up taking a hit with this bullshit but that's OK, as long as we're working toward the truth.
