"In Fourteen hundred and ninety two,
Columbus sailed the ocean blue..."
But what did he do when he came back in 1493?
That's where the history books get vague.
When you get to the 6:20 point in the video pay specific attention.
One of the first things that Columbus did when he landed on the island of Hispaniola was to create an overt surveillance system (a tower and fort) to intimidate the local people into obedience.
Sound familiar?
