And Vespuchi enslaved the indigenous people, so we have to change the name of our country and the names of North and South America.

It would be Columbia, not Columbusia.
Apparently Vespucci made it appear that he was the first European to see the mainland of what we call South America. Actually Columbus had seen it earlier, but Waldseemueller thought Vespucci was first when he proposed the name "America."
Of course Leifia might be more appropriate.

He definitely had a nose for navigation.
