問題詳情

In August, 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain to chart a trade route to Asia. Notknowing where he had landed didn’t frighten him; the Italian was motivated by fortune and fame. Aftertwo months at sea, Columbus hit the Bahamas. He thought he had landed in India. That is why NativeAmericans are often mistakenly referred to as “Indians.” Other Europeans followed Columbus’ lead, andthe era of American-European relations began. Today, Columbus Day is a national U.S. holidayrepresenting patriotism and traditional family values. However, not everyone believes Columbus shouldbe celebrated.
