      I don't like Christopher Columbus since he conquered a different land that was not his. Not fair. Don't like him too well

        There was a part of the article that was most important. The most important part was he discovered America but he thought he was going to India. It is important to understand that Columbus did not realize he was in America. Also he tried to get spices from India so he could get money. It makes me understand that Columbus was not trying to find America.
