Is it true that Christopher Columbus discovered America, and was the Indian's best friend?

I also heard he helped the Indian's win their war against Fredrick Douglas, freed the Hebrews from Napoleon, discovered France, and stared his own restaurant in 1492?

I thought most of this was true, but it seems like a LOT for one man to do. Also, starting his own restaurant sounds like a stretch. I heard it was kind of a mediocre place, so it is still believable though.

Update:

@Big Bang Theorist: Oh, I didn't know about that one! I guess it was left out in History class because it puts him in kind of a bad light.

    Wrong on all counts, lol. I don't really know about the restaurant thing (might be right).

    Fredrick Douglas didn't fight Indians and he was born waaaay after CC's death.

    Napoleon didn't go to war v. Hebrews. Also, Napoleon was way born after him.

    France was a country before CC.

    He was very cruel to Indians.

    Don't forget the part where he snuck Luke Skywalker into a bar when Luke was 6.

  • Columbus didn't discover America. There were people there before he came alone
