If I wanted one sentence to indicate the profound moral blindness that has afflicted Americans, it would be this one.

Your article accurately explains why Isabella and Ferdinand were horrible people, but compared to Columbus, they were saints.

Columbus was a truly terrible person, even by the terrible standards of his day. I don’t care to write about the endless murders, mutilations and child rapes he ordered, so here’s a summary.

But it still speaks volumes about the moral bankruptcy of the USA.
