Christopher Columbus day

Christopher Columbus Day

Should Christopher Columbus have a holiday after him? I guess that's an opinion. Well my opinion is that he should not, he did not even set-foot on American soil, but yet he has his own national day named after him?!?! This is my debate on whether Columbus should even be in the history books.

My first reason why Columbus should not take credit for discovering America is that he did not even touch our dirt. He never landed on America!

He was not even supposed to sail to American the fist place, let alone claim that he discovered it! He was aiming to find a quicker, cheaper water rout to their trading post in

Asia.

So, who actually discovered it? Well according to my research the Vikings did. In fact, it it was about 500 years before Columbus even set-out on his "journey".

To be clear, I don't think Columbus should be in the History lessons at school. He did not discover America!
