I read so much ARGUING about Columbus Day...I have to retort lol: Im not saying I dont agree with Columbus day...I just think that the FACTS should be stated. Yes, Christopher Columbus DID stumble upon what we know now as America while on an expedition being paid for by The Queen of Portugal..but he was looking for trade routes...he decided to CLAIM and name America, Long after a Viking named Leif Erikson... DISCOVERED it, chilled there for a minute and went on his merry way. His day, October 9th like isnt recognized like Columbus Day, I think it should. REAL facts made a day commemorating him possible. You cant dispute this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leif_Erikson_Day #KnowYourHistory
