1.What is something that you learned about Christopher Columbus that you didn’t know before?
I think something that I learned was that Christopher Columbus really didn’t discover America there was people already living there.Some other things I learned was that when Christopher Columbus arrived in this place he was looking for gold but since he didn’t find no gold he decided to use the Indigenous people living there as slaves.He sold men, women, and kids for money, and he also killed many innocent people.When he got to this land he took over and claimed the land to be the land of the Queen and king that gave Christopher Columbus the resources to sail.
2. Do you think Christopher Columbus deserves his own holiday?
I think that now that I know what he really did I think he doesn’t deserves to have his own holiday because if he does then we will be celebrating and saying that what he did was right and it wasn’t because he did many things to innocent people that didn’t do anything to him.I think we shouldn’t celebrate the fact that he traded people to get money, that he killed people, and that he took over land that already had people living there.I think that day should be dedicated to the indigenous people.
