Christopher Columbus made four voyages across the Atlantic, in 1492, 1493, 1498, and 1502, exploring the Caribbean, Central America, and parts of South America, though he believed he had reached Asia. Here's a more detailed look at Columbus's voyages: First Voyage (1492-1493): No slaves.

😪😐 not like he didn’t wipe out a whole people group in the Caribbean islands or anything like that lol. Christopher Columbus enslaved Indigenous people. During his voyages to the Americas, he and his men captured and enslaved many Taíno and other Indigenous peoples, forcing them to work in mines and plantations. He also sent enslaved individuals back to Spain. His actions contributed to the broader system of European colonization and transatlantic slavery
