It is quite possibly the only lecture on history Steve has ever paid attention to completely. Eddie just has a way of making the story come to life. It's not a musty old series of facts to memorize and boring progressions in time. No, Steve listens and it's like he's there. He's on the ships that Columbus fucked up the navigation on and crashed into inhabited land. He's standing in horror as he watches the carnage Columbus wrought to those people. The fucking horrors of enslavement and massacre of those trying to stand up to him.

"Jesus fucking Christ. Why do we have a holiday for him at all?!"

Steve, horrified, is following Eddie like he is a Pied Piper. "What the fuck? And how could she have failed you when you know that much about this? Your whole thing there proves you know what you're talking about. What was her problem?"
