US cities and states are increasingly renaming Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day (Credit: Kotatv.com)

Celebrated annually on the second Monday in October, Columbus Day honors Italian explorer Christopher Columbus's discovery of America. However, the federal holiday, which will be observed on October 14, 2019, has long drawn criticism due to the European settlers' brutal treatment of the Native American people. It has also been argued that America had already been "discovered" by the indigenous people when Columbus arrived.

      I hate Columbus, he didn't even land on India, he landed on Cuba and "found" America.

          Columbus was downright brutal to the poor Native Americans who did nothing to him.

            Despite the fact I have European heritage. I think that my ancestors should have never been so rude! I would become besties with the Native Americans and have a pizza party!

                    This is why us humans look at history and research more about it because you would never know that their might be something that everyone think it is true but if you look back at it it might be wrong.
