Because the Native Americans didn't have a history until he came along?

I dunno... they say he discovered America, but I think the Native Americans did and he just stole their thunder.

it wasn't just here... he pillaged the Caribbean for years... took slaves for sex and made others dig for gold that wasn't there and stuff... he wasn't a very nice guy... 😟

I don't know anyone that actually celebrates. It's an excuse for weekend fishing trip.

Columbus is prolly just misunderstood, like the missionary's who beat and killed Christianity into people from pagans, to native Americans, and Africans.

He couldn't be all bad. Right?

I bet he had a thing going on with Queen Isabella. Why else would the King pay to fund his adventure when he was a foreigner?

Bet it was so Colombus was out of the picture. King never counted on his returning less a triumphant return.
