Columbus Day

Christopher Columbus had no idea he discovered america. He only discovered some islands. It's a shame Columbus day is national american holiday; this guy was slave dealer. But italian-americans are proud of his aka their day. Insead of Columbus day, there should be Rocky Marciano Day on February 3 1956[1]! Columbus thought he discovered short route to India & he believed that until the day he died. However, like Copernicus & Galilelo, he believed earth rotates around the sun.

During four separate trips that started with the one in 1492, Columbus landed on various Caribbean islands that are now the Bahamas as well as the island later called Hispaniola. He also explored the Central and South American coasts.
