While reading information about Columbus Day and other days related to it, I learned many new facts that I did not know before. Personally, I would rather celebrate Indigenous People’s Day because Columbus did some bad things.

Although motivated by religion, Spanish also wanted to achieve success and have superiority. The Spanish believed that in return for giving individuals religious purity, they should receive payment and service.…
