Columbus Day is celebrated annually on the second Monday of October. It marks Christopher Columbus's arrival to the Americas. However, the US federal holiday, which will be observed on October 9 this year, has always been controversial.

        I think it was not very fair that Columbus claimed to discover it even though he did not.

                Columbus came to America in 1415 & saw a little island which people were on so they took over their land,took their rights,fought with the native & acted like the land was their own!? Also,people never even knew if it was true that columbus claimed that land or took it,so they just stuck with saying they claimed it,But they really didn't!!Now thats just Messed up.
