Episode 7 – La Navidad and Smallpox; Merry Christmas, Indigenous Folks!

Update: 2018-02-21

Description

The jolly fat man whose belly shakes like a bowl of jelly brings the native peoples of La Hispaniola some memorable gifts, that fuzzy Christmas of 1492. How about some 30-odd swarthy, horny, heavily-armed Spaniards and a virulent disease to which you have no microbial resistance! The seeds of conflict are planted as 1492 passes into 1493, and Columbus returns (heavily reinforced!) to find a bunch of ruins, some Spanish bodies and no gold at all. What would Jesus do?
