No More Columbus Day
Remember the rhyme you were taught about Christopher Columbus? That was all a lie. In fact, he was a cruel man and did you know he did not even discover America. Christopher Columbus day should not be celebrated and recognized as a national holiday in the United States because his whole “being a great hero” was all just an act.

Columbus is a fraud and the Nnative Aamericans discovered america around 14,000 before he was even born. Guess who else discovered America before Columbus?. A group of Polynesian explorers dugout canoes across the Pacific and settled in South America long before Leif Erikson which means these Polynesian explorers discovered America before Christopher and Leif Erikson. Many people say that Columbus was the first person to prove it is possible to travel across the world. He also proved that you can kill nearly three million people in only twenty years.
Christopher Columbus day should not be celebrated as a national holiday throughout the U.S. Why should we celebrate a day for someone who was a cruel man to people who did nothing but help him and someone who did not even discover
