Blog#2: What does it say about a country to support a person/holiday such as Columbus?

For a country to celebrate and support a holiday for a person such as Christopher Columbus it represents a lot of respect to that person. That particular individual must have done a lot to effect or change this world to as it is to be now. If Christopher Columbus hadn’t of went back to Portugal to tell some of the people he has found new land what would have happened? If Columbus hadn’t of announced that he found new land and named it the Americas, what would the place we are on be called? Will we even be here? If Columbus did not know about the Americas or did not come back a second time to the Americas with more people, food, pets, and goods would the Native Americans be alive then or lack their goods which they did not contain? I believe celebrating and supporting a holiday for a particular individual is a great idea if they really did what people assumed they accomplished. The least we can do it give them respect in ways that we do in the today world.
