What is something that you learned about Christopher Columbus that  you did not know before? 

I learned about Christopher Columbus in 8th grade so there isn’t nothing I learned. I can say that when I first learned  about Christopher Columbus I learned that he was very selfish and didn’t care about anything else but gold. He exploited people because he knew that he had power over them and more privilege.  He figured out the world wasn’t flat but he wasn’t in india. He’s a very disrespectful person that all hate can explain.

 

 

 

Do think Christopher Columbus deserves his own holiday?  Explain your answer. 

Christopher Columbus doesn’t deserve his own holiday because the things he did to the Native Americans isn’t no where near okay. He doesn’t deserve his own country neither. Christopher Columbus did things to people who were innocent and try to offer him everything without being forced. No one wants to feel like their forced to do anything and they were.  He is very wrong for the things he did to the Native Americans they deserve their own holiday not him.
