Columbus should not be celebrated because of how much of a sinner he was. According to him he was really religious and wanted to spread Christianity. Really all he did was spread fear and now days anger.

According to the article we read columbus should not be celebrated because, “On his second trip to the New World, Columbus brought cannons and attack dogs. If a native resisted slavery, he would cut off a nose or an ear. If slaves tried to escape, Columbus had them burned alive. Other times, he sent attack dogs to hunt them down, and the dogs would tear off the arms and legs of the screaming natives while they were still alive. If the Spaniards ran short of meat to feed the dogs, Arawak babies were killed for dog food.” Just by reading this I feel sad, angry, and disgusted. How can someone do such an atrocity just for money, fame, and maybe even for him fun.

I strongly believe christopher columbus Day shouldn’t be celebrated. I think it’s rude and disrespectful to celebrate a person who walked around killing and enslaving innocent indigenous people like that was the normal when in reality it wasn’t. Before we started learning about him and his inhumane and atrocious actions I didn’t know how disgusting he was. Now that I’ve learned the truth about this criminal  I feel disgusted that many people celebrate him. I feel like it shouldn’t be this way. If people want to celebrate him they should celebrate that he’s gone forever from this world.

According to the article it says,”Columbus supervised the selling of native girls into sexual slavery. Young girls of the ages 9 to 10 were the most desired by his men.”

I the reason why Columbus Day shouldn’t be celebrated it’s because he was a horrible person. Not just that but I believe it’s disrespectful to put him in the list of people who have there own day like Dr.Martin Luther King whom actually did something for the world that affected the lives of many . And other people like him. I think it’s simply dumb to put them in the category as hero’s that deserve there own day when people like Dr.King prevented murder and enslavement while Columbus did quite the opposite.

# data[].attributes.body
As noted in the article,” . Young girls of the ages 9 to 10 were the most desired by his men.” Also,”Within only two years, 125,000 (half of the population) of the original natives on the island were dead.”

Columbus Day should not be celebrated because if you celebrate that holiday you are basically celebrating a person who enslaved, murdered, and raped a lot of innocent indigenous people for his own benefit.

The article states, “Columbus had them burned alive. Other times, he sent attack dogs to hunt them down, and the dogs would tear off the arms and legs of the screaming natives while they were still alive. If the Spaniards ran short of meat to feed the dogs, Arawak babies were killed for dog food.” this is mass genocide and this kind of behavior on people should not be treated like it.

Columbus should not be celebrated according to (paragraph 11) Shockingly, Columbus supervised the selling of native girls into sexual slavery. Young girls of the ages 9 to 10 were the most desired by his men. In 1500, Columbus casually wrote about it in his log. And this is why it should not be celebrated.

# data[].attributes.body
Some evidence to support why Columbus Day should not be celebrated is, “In fact, Columbus was the first slave trader in the Americas.” Another direct quote to support why Columbus Day should not be celebrated is, “The Arawaks had no weapons; their society had neither criminals, prisons nor prisoners. ” This shows that Columbus had no reason to do the things he did besides for his own pleasure.

Columbus Day shouldn’t be celebrated. According to the article, it states, “Columbus was so impressed with the hard work of these gentle islanders, that he immediately seized their land for Spain and enslaved them to work in his brutal gold mines.” (paragraph 9). This shows that despite the indigenous people’s kindness, he still decided to act in cruel behavior. He took advantage of their gentle and welcoming lifestyles to benefit himself, as he was full of ignorance.

On my opinion Columbus Day should not be celebrated according to the article “Columbus supervised the selling of native girls into sexual slavery.

Columbus Day shouldn’t be celebrated because he was a horrible person . I mean Murder , Enslavement, I do not think and I’m pretty sure that is not a reason to get your own day and people to honor you. More to people to feel disgusted by who he was and it’s extremely wrong for people to want to celebrate him. Evidence from the text that supports Columbus being a murder and that he enslaved people are the following “He forced these peaceful natives work in his gold mines until they died of exhaustion. If an "Indian" worker did not deliver his full quota of gold dust by Columbus' deadline, soldiers would cut off the man's hands and tie them around his neck to send a message. Slavery was so intolerable for these sweet, gentle island people that at one point, 100 of them committed mass suicide.” Also sorry for putting almost the entire paragraph but I think they are all really important details.
