Stars and Stripes Forever
The objective of Lights, Camera, History! is to work our way through American History chronologically from film. Each film will have two ratings, an “Enjoyability” rating using a scale of 1 to 50 stars, and a “Historical Accuracy” rating on a scale of 1/13 stripes. Our first film, Ridley Scott’s 1492: Conquest of Paradise rates fairly low on both scales. Alert: the upcoming material has film spoilers.
Paige and I spent a long time debating about where to start. Should we begin with the Mayflower or Jamestown? Or should we start at the beginning of European Colonialism in the Americas: namely with Christopher Columbus? We decided that no discussion of American history could possibly ignore the age of exploration. It marked the beginning of the genocide of indigenous tribes across the Americas over a period of several centuries. The transatlantic slave trade quickly arrived in the Americas as a result (Clark, 1992).
Christopher Columbus: Hero or Monster?
Americans have finally started to wake up to the fact that Columbus is problematic as fuck. Twelve states and the District of Columbia have renamed Columbus Day to either “Native American Day” or “Indigenous People’s Day” (Walpole, 2020). With that said, up until

Adrián de Moxica
Adrián de Moxica (also written as de Múgica) (1453 – c. 1499) was a Spanish nobleman and explorer.
Moxica was born to a Spanishnoble family of Basque descent. In 1498 he accompanied Christopher Columbus on his third journey to the Americas, where he participated in the rebellion against Columbus in 1499 led by Francisco Roldán. Moxica was a noted participant in the rebellion, although the extent of his involvement and his role in the initiation of atrocities against the natives is uncertain.[1] Although the rebellion was successful, de Moxica was arrested by Columbus' troops and hanged.
In popular culture
[edit]Adrián de Moxica was portrayed by Michael Wincott in Ridley Scott's 1992 film 1492: Conquest of Paradise. Moxica fills a prominent role in the film as Columbus' nemesis, who assumes the role as the leader of Roldán's rebellion with his right-hand Hernando de Guevara (played by Arnold Vosloo). In the film, Moxica cuts off the hand of a Native American who claimed to have found no gold to pay for his taxes. Eventually, once confronted by both Columbus and his allies, he commits suicide by jumping off a steep cliff, rather than be captured.
