Lucinda Hernandez’s Reviews > The Zorg: A Tale of Greed and Murder That Inspired the Abolition of Slavery > Status Update

The author speaks about how historical mistakes are accepted as fact because they’re made by influential people. For example, Columbus thought he was in India and called the people Indians. The name stuck, despite the Native Americans not being Indian.

The example the author used is an example of this, but not in the way he meant. Columbus didn’t think he was in India, he thought was in the Indies.
