Ferdinand Magellan's Cruelty

Ferdinand Magellan was a portuguese explorer born in Portugal, in the year 1480. I don’t think Ferdinand Magellan was worth defending. I wouldn’t defend him for three reasons, he was cruel to his crew members and others, he put his crew in danger, and he lost sight of the mission. Magellan wasn’t worth defending because of his cruelty towards his crew and others. In Document B, it talks about how when his crew rebelled against him, he responded harshly so that his crew would be scared and wouldn’t try it again. His punishments were disgusting, decapitation is one thing, but quartering is extremely brutal. He cut his crew's rations when he should’ve rewarded them for their courageousness and tolerance, they had to be emotionally stable. Cruelty
