Is Christopher Columbus a hero, villian, or a regular guy? I believe Columbus is a hero even though he did not supposedly discover America. He was always known as the first to discover America but as time goes on the story seems to change, "Was he really the first to discover America?" Nobody knows for sure whether or not he was the first but it is still a question that is trying to be answered. His expedition was a huge part of history because it gave a lot of people hope that he was going to be able to discover America. It took a lot of time and money to pay for the voyage and to know if he really discovered America first leaves a lot of people wondering. Even though he might not of discovered America I think that the voyage makes him a hero because of all he went through. He dealt with people dying on the ships, money is always an issue. They had to make sure that they had enough supplies to make it through the journey to find America.
