Well, most of us learned in elementary school that "In 1492,Columbus sailed the ocean blue." this may be true, but Columbus did not discover the country we love and live in today. Many thousands of years before Columbus made this famous voyage, there were many different tribes of Native Americans living such territories as present day Kansas, Florida, and even our own Texas! Also, did you know that Vikings from the Scandanavian area of the world such as Norway and Sweden?
Also, Christopher Columbus was not Spanish, but Italian! The only reason Columbus sailed under the Spanish flag was because the Spanish royalty were thenonly royalties that would finance hit voyage, which many other nations believed was tomfoolery because at that time, everybody believed the world was flat. In addition to what everyone perceives as this great thic he did, Columbus also committed mas genocide of many of the npNative Americans that lived in this new world. Well, know that you know a little more about him, your opinion might change.
