Columbus Day, which is celebrated annually on the second Monday of October to honor the Italian explorer credited with “discovering” the Americas, has always been somewhat of a controversial holiday. That’s because while Christopher Columbus stumbled upon what we now call the Caribbean on October 12, 1492, he never set foot on the mainland – even on his subsequent three journeys. Besides, North America had already been “discovered” by the Native Americans, who had been living there for many generations.

deweyduck7년 이하CHANGE CHRISTMAS!?!?!? WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD ANYONE DO THAT!?!?!?! Christmas is about celebrating Christ's birth, not snow.( I don't even get snow in California.)- wolfdog6년 이상EXACTLY. Why change Columbus? IT'S NOT ABOUT HIM SLAYING PEOPLE IT'S ABOUT HIM MAKING THE NEW WORLD WHAT IT IS TODAY!

- A person7년 이하Columbus thought the Earth was a pear shape
- wolfdog7년 이하And so did Europe. And the Americas. Nobody thought the earth was round during the 1400s
ooessayforeva6년 이상actually the Greeks knew the earth was round way before Columbus was even born. And the only reason columbus set off on his voyage was bc he knew the earth was round- wolfdog6년 이상No the other Europeans told him he would fall off so he took the chance :')
- ooessayforeva6년 이상I think that we agree on most of this topic, but one thing I would like to say is that Columbus was looking for a way to Asia for spices and since he knew the Earth was round he would just sail west he would eventually find it, and he THOUGHT he found India, hence the name Indians. Little did he know he was not in Asia but the Caribbean
- Corgibean7년 이하I think Colambus day is unfair to other people so thay would have it as important peoples day (or what they said)
