The second Monday in October has traditionally been known as Columbus Day in honor of the Italian explorer's "discovery" of the Americas on October 12, 1492. However, the US federal holiday, which will be celebrated on October 11 this year, has always been controversial due to the European settlers' cruel treatment of the Native American people.

scissccisd약 4년The Vikings didn't even really discover America. All they did was discover a small place called Newfoundland in Canada. The Vikings left a couple years later but they did not find anything of importance, people forgot about the story for years. Christopher Columbus' discovery was revolutionary and shaped the modern world forever. #Keep the Name
brawlstarschamp3년 이하Remember it, but there was a lot of dark stuff that happened. If someone showed up at your door and said that unless you gave them your house, they would stab you, how would you feel? Would you want to celebrate that?

nick05약 4년Columbus did not discover America. Someone else did. So it should be Indigenous People Day. Not Columbus Day. We should celebrate the people who already were in America and the first person who found America. This was Leif Erikson who found America 500 years earlier. Leif Erikson found it with his group of explorers named the Icelandic Explorers. This should be wrong.
catwwii4년 이하That's true Leif Erickson doesn't really get any credit, but if it wasn't for Christopher Columbus we wouldn't be here today, in fact the chances of any of us living here (or being alive) are incredibly slim.- scissccisd4년 이하The Vikings did not even really discover anything of importance. Columbus's discovery was evolutionarily brave, cunning and daring. We would not be here today if Columbus didn't hurt the Natives and conquered there land. I know he was not in America. But he inspired other countries to come to the New World which is why we would not be alive and the world would be completely different is Columbus didn't discover the New World.
