The truth about Christopher Columbus is that he never knew
he found a new continent or the “new world.” He went to find spices in India
and thought he landed in Indonesia. That’s where he thought he was when he
landed on an island off the cost of Central America.
He was a profiteer who thought the Atlantic and Pacific was
one small ocean. He saw the Native Americans as potential slaves and gave them
European diseases
Others followed him which is why he became so well known. He
was never the first European to reach the US. Vikings Leif Ericson also reached the America’s, about 1100. People
from other parts of the world also made it here, such as the Australian Aborigines.
