Was Magellan worth Defending? There are many reasons why he is not worth defending, and many reasons he was worth defending. Many people think he was not worth defending. But in my own opinion I think he was worth is. But don't get me wrong i have some reasons why he is not worth defending. So I have two ways I could argue this. One reason he is not worth it he was very harsh to his crew. But one reason he is worth is is because he was a very smart man. One way you could discribe Magellan is entillanrnt. but another way you could describe him is cruel. Another reason he was worth is because he was just trying to deliver spices. At that point he was completely innocent But on the other hand he did lead his crew to their death. So at that point he was not worth defending. Because he left with 270 men and came back with 18 but, Magellan was not one of the 18. So he was not worth defending right now. Another way someone could argue that he was not worth defending is that he made his crew do all the work. Some captions are like that but they probably did a lot more work than he did. Then again he was one of the people who want to sell spices.
With that at least some of the spices got to where they were supposed to. So that is one big reason why he is worth defending. But still someone could argue both ways. Another thing he did was help discover the world. And that is one huge reason why he is worth defending. He also did make a bunch of towns change religions, and if they refused he threatened them. People should have the choice of religion, so a lot of people would not defend him because of that. He also made his crew eat old biscuits, eat rats, and drink yellow water. When he did that he probably got his crew really sick.
But after all that he is kinda worth defending. Was Magellan worth defending? After all the stuff that he did to his crew. But he did have some good in
