Columbus Day Should Be Celebrated
By: Jesus Bahena
Evidence #1
He had traits people nowadays find to be worthy of admiration. He is considered by some to be a really skilled captain and a sort of adventurer because he wanted to find quicker paths to asia and and to india. He went even defying the fact that most people thought the world was flat and he still went on his journey despite this believe. He went on trying to search for gold and nobility titles, sort of what people now would find a good thing considering most people wish the same for themselves to have money and power. Also his discovery lead to the foundation of one of the worlds greatest nations. Because in my opinion, if he had not gone on his voyage, most people in europe who didn't want to be in the control of the king wouldn't have anywhere to go to, and if those people hadn't come here because of Columbus then we wouldn't have this great nation and we probably would still have been in the control of the king.
