Change Columbus Day!
Columbus day should be changed to something else.
Columbus was not the hero
Columbus was a greedy man
Columbus tryed to find Asian but he failed because he found the indies. And why did he want to find Asia? Because he was looking for gold and spices to take back to the king and queen of spain.
Death
Becasue of Columbus and his men he brought over many unfamiliar deseases to the naitves. And since thier immune systems' wasn't used to these disease they couldn't fight them and so many died.
Evil!
Christopher Columbus was an evil man! He took many natives and used them as his slaves. he said in his journal that the lord would be please. I don't think the Lord would be pleased knowing that he was kidnapping natives and sending them of to a foreign place
Columbus dosent deserve a day of commemoration
