Americans hide all of the bad things and promote what they find good in times that bad things happened.
Especially the government. Did you notice that in the description you posted they mentioned him being an expansionist, but not once mentioned that he sent a whole culture of men, women and children to its death on a forced march by American soldiers by way of plague, starvation and brutality?
I recall being lectured in school about denouncing American heroes. I went off about the fact Columbus wasn't all that great, he was a brutal screw-up. My teacher thought I was deranged to say that about the "American who founded the country".
Brainwashing anyone?
