Why Columbus should replace slavery in epoch 3

An artifact I thought should replace the scrap of cloth in epoch three is a whip to represent when columbus came to the Americas. The whip would represent the genocide that columbus committed against the inhabitants of the Americas and how he usually sold the people he met into slavery. This should replace the scrap of cloth because the whip represents a broader topic then just a scrap which just represents a slave's clothing. A whip represents the torment and torture against the population of the Americas not just what they had warn.
