On August 3rd, 1492 Italian explorer Christopher Columbus set sail from Palos de la Frontera, Spain, to seek out a western sea route to China and India. However, the explorer and his crew never made it to the gold and spice islands of Asia. Instead, about two months later, on October 12th, they landed on a small island in the modern-day Bahamas that Columbus claimed for Spain and named San Salvador.

    I don't think that Christopher Columbus day should be celebrated because he mistreated the natives very badly. Besides, he wasn't the first to find America, it was Lief Erickson.

      I think that Christopher Columbus should not be celebrated because he actually abused the Native Americans

          They named it 'Columbus Day' and not 'Indigenous People's Day'. It doesn't make any sense. Why do they want this and who said??????
