Why might an author or speaker refer to columbus's voyage to america as an "invasion" rather than a "discovery"?

This is because the land of the early inhabitants were taken by force.

Explanation:

Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer and colonizer. He took his ships called the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria on a voyage to Asia. There were some apprehensions along the journey and he decided to stop at the next available land.

The next available land was America and he met people there which were the main inhabitants. He however claimed to discover America and he forcefully took land from the inhabitants and took control of them.

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.
