I think the positive is that they found new lands (for them), i.e. America to explore. The negatives are his participation in slavery, the spreading of disease, the dislocation and death of hundreds of thousands of American Indians. The hundreds of lies we were taught growing up about how Columbus was the first to discover America and that relations between Columbus and "Native" Americans was a great symbiotic relationship... Sorry, could not think of too many positives because there are not many.
