When you know that Columbus was not the "First" explorer especially Today...Why do you still celebrate this myth adopted in the 30's..in 1492-his First Voyage he never stepped foot in the "Americas" nor on his Second Voyage. His 3td Voyage 1498 he lands eventually on the Paria Penninsula-Venezuela...His 4th Voyage in 1502 , he lands in the Central Americas on the advice of Locals which is technically North America-and exactly what did he discouver/find---there were people already living in the areas that he touristed.... John Cabot was an Italian navigator and explorer. His 1497 discovery of the coast of North America under the commission of Henry VII of England is the earliest known European exploration of coastal North America since the Norse visits to Vinland in the eleventh century. They too were welcomed by Locals.
Are they not teaching this in school? or is it too late or too deeply engrained to correct/emend/amend this History faux-pas....
