I agree. Because Yes Christopher did many things to discover things that we learn and talk about today.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree wth OH

# data[].attributes.body
I agree what with you said because you tough me stuff that i didn't know and it was interesting to learn about it

# data[].attributes.body
You are wrong, it clearly states in the article that the Europe explorers did spread small pox.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree the europeans are at fault for giving the diease to native americans but its no their fault for carring the diease.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to that because i learned things that i didn't know and it was really interesting to learn more about it

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because Columbus wasn't not the only one that sailed our U.S

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, because we should remember how America was first discovered by remembering the good that Christopher Columbus did not the bad.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to your opinion but I think that it was partly his fault because he could have brought a disease
with him.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you because I really think that its a good idea to do it and just to celebrate it

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with yours yours was kinda close to mine

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to you because they did spread the deases to the native americans which killed all of them.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree that we should not celebrate columbus day because he is not the first person to discover america

# data[].attributes.body
There was no proof that they intentionally spread the small pox disease.

# data[].attributes.body
Claim | I think columbus day should celebrated because he sailed all around the world and people were saying they were spreading bad disease but native americans did it also.
Evidence | The disease was called black plague and it killed over fifty million people.
Commentary | Christopher columbus sailed much land becauehe traveled all over the world to sail the U.S
Conclusion | Christopher Columbus was yet a big part of making america great because he made it where you could do anything you want.

# data[].attributes.body
We should continue celebrating Columbus Day because it was the first our land was discovered. According to Newsela Monuments honoring Christopher Columbus are being defaced and destroyed. You should care about my opinion because we need something to remember him by. We should celebrate because it was the first our land was discovered and now it is being destroyed.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you because you pointed out some good stuff that I never thought about.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because I wrote almost the same thing as you and I agree with the topic you choose to write about.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because It was not Christophers Columbus fault that the Native American People got small pox and others diseases. It was only partly his fault, but not all the way.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree i wrote the kinda opposite to yours and you are making me switch my mind

# data[].attributes.body
U.S Citizens should continue to celebrate Columbus day because the diseases were not his fault that they happened to the Native American People. It was not his fault that many people died of disease brought over to America From england.  Holding Columbus responsible is not logical ( PRO/CON: Should we celebrate Christopher Columbus?).” So yes these diseases coming to america were not his fault therefore we should still celebrate Columbus Day.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should celebrate he accidentally spread a disease called smallpox It killed 70 to 80 percent. People blame him for it.
These deaths happened over many decades. Holding Columbus responsible does not make sense. Also, calculating an actual number of deaths is impossible. Population estimates at that time are not reliable.
People should because people would have the holiday erased or something.
Which is why we should celebrate columbus day.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we should celebrate columbus day. Because he is our founder and he sacrificed so much to prove the world was round and that he wanted see new places. He always wanted to travel across the seas. He was finally able to afford 3 ships and crew from the queen. As he left port he said “Following the light, I leave this old world.”

# data[].attributes.body
Yes i think that it should be a day that is on the calendar.For one because he was nice and we should really respect him for what he did for us and for making it so that we really can have freedom.He was always nice to everyone and he was never mean to anyone and he should have a day on the calendar.A Lot of people like him and he wrote the constitution with other people and he really just gave us freedom cause if the constitution was never wrote then we would have never been free.So yes i really think that we should have it as a day and i wrote all that to show why i think he should have a day

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we should celebrate columbus day because we probably would not be here right now and would maybe be in europe.  Columbus day celebrates his achievements even though he was not the first person to come and discover america the person who discovered America was Amerigo Vespucci.  Columbus day was celebrated as a commemoration to Columbus for discovering america but when he got here he was a jerk and and an indian slave trader. Overall I think that we should celebrate columbus day because it celebrate columbus discovering america

# data[].attributes.body
U.S citizens shouldn’t continue to celebrate Columbus Day because, columbus killed a lot of people that were already living on the land.
According to Los Angeles Times Editorial Board, the explorer spread European diseases, mainly smallpox. Estimates say smallpox killed 70 to 80 percent of Native Americans.
People should care because, due to most of the native americans dying they couldn't repopulate which lead to a shortage of the native american population.
Which is why we shouldn't celebrate a man that took many lives.

# data[].attributes.body
U.S. citizens should celebrate Columbus day. According to the article I read the diseases spread both ways between Native Americans and Europeans. People say they were bad for spreading diseases but Native Americans did it also. The disease was the black plague which killed about fifty million Europeans. The Europeans weren't bad people they were just made out to be bad people. Christopher Columbus was a big part in making America and having a now free world where you can almost do anything you want.

# data[].attributes.body
The U.S citizens should not continue to celebrate Columbus day because a lot of people got hurt when he brought  a disease to the other people.
On the con side of the article they said that some people will instead recognize the contributions, and suffering, of the Native American. My evidence should be considered because that people were suffering and they were killing Native Americans for their land and resources. People should still celebrate it because it reminds people of what has happened in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
Not everyone killed slaves back then. And as soon as the natives didn't give him the stuff he was there for he started killing people.

# data[].attributes.body
Columbus day should not be celebrated be switched out with lief Erickson day

# data[].attributes.body
Your
just wrong

# data[].attributes.body
Columbus day should still be celebrated, because it was the beginning of cultural exchange between America and Europe.
The European immigrants brought their arts, music, science, and medicine to america. Which helped shape the U.S with Greek democracy, Roman Law, and many more.
The evidence is important, because it states how the U.S, and Europe bonded and helped shape each other.
Columbus day should still be celebrated, because it was the beginning of cultural exchange between America and Europe.

# data[].attributes.body
he was a big meanie but he did help other places then kill them

# data[].attributes.body
I don't agree with you, I don't think we should celebrate it

# data[].attributes.body
You got a good argument with a lot of evidence, i like it.

# data[].attributes.body
He killed slaves but everyone killed slaves. And if he didn't discover America nobody would be in america until later in life.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how you wrote yours, it makes sense.

# data[].attributes.body
I like your reasoning/ evidence. If I was to redraft my paragraph, I would add that piece of evidence that you had in.

# data[].attributes.body
You need to write a proper claim and add evidence

# data[].attributes.body
I agree on you claim but you also can think that he had perfect accomplishments

You need to put a claim and you need evidence where are they?

I like your paragraogh i feel like you have great evidence but not great commentary

# data[].attributes.body
I like your reasoning and your claim is good.

# data[].attributes.body
He did a lot of bad stuff and should not be praised of any of it

# data[].attributes.body
I agree on you whole paragraph

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with your second claim because he did have many good accomplishments.

# data[].attributes.body
If Christopher C. never found America then they wouldn't of had smallpox

# data[].attributes.body
Claim: The U.S. Should not have Christopher Columbus day Because he did not he did not discover america.

Evidence: He did not come close he did find many small island including the bahamas but he land on the yucatan peninsula. Also he did not find it people were there it should have been there choice not are choice since we were immigrants

commentary : This would be like naming america after a person from another place. And an immigrant should not be able to claim some place that would be like the guy who landed on the moon claiming that all of america owns it and can do what it wants with it, No they had to follow regulations and world laws so the wont start a fight.

concusion: In conclusion we should not have Christopher Columbus day in america

# data[].attributes.body
Even if he did discover only the Bahamas he did land in a new continent and place earning him celebration.

# data[].attributes.body
Claim | No, because Christopher Columbus didn’t find america first, also he enslaved many native americans, and put them through extreme violence and brutality.
Evidence | “In an era in which the international slave trade was starting to grow, Columbus and his men enslaved many native inhabitants of the West Indies and subjected them to extreme violence and brutality. On his famous first voyage in 1492, Columbus landed on an unknown Caribbean island after an arduous three-month journey” -History.com
Commentary  | I don’t like what he did because i’m native american
Conclusion  | I think that Columbus day shouldn't exist.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. Christopher wasn't responsible for spreading Small Pox.

# data[].attributes.body
?Were is your claim? Or evidence?

# data[].attributes.body
I dont agree with you because I dont think we should celebrate the day

# data[].attributes.body
You did a good job. You also described some things.

# data[].attributes.body
He did kill slaves, and wasn't the first to discover america. But if he didn't discover america at all than nobody would have. And everybody killled slaves back then.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree

# data[].attributes.body
U.S. citizens should celebrate Columbus day because if he would of never founded America then we would not be living on this land.
For an Example the Smallpox disease a lot of people were affected if America was never founded then we could never help victims that were died or had a illness.
People should care because some of the Europeans could thank us because we could've helped them if they needed help.
Columbus deserves to be respected and we should thank him.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you claim that he did sell slaves and that is very wrong, but he also had many accomplishments that effect where we are today.

# data[].attributes.body
I think your article has good evidence and I agree we shouldn't celebrate

# data[].attributes.body
but he didn't even touch north america he hit the Bahamas

# data[].attributes.body
I really like your reasoning about your claim.

# data[].attributes.body
He was a murderer and shouldn't be praised at all

# data[].attributes.body
He was also not directly responsible for a lot of the  deaths of the Natives

# data[].attributes.body
Columbus has done more pros than he has done cons.

# data[].attributes.body
Although, he did sell slaves, he did do a lot of good things too. Times were different in the past as well.

# data[].attributes.body
U.S. citizens should celebrate Columbus Day because he changed our history and it was not his fault for smallpox killing the Native Americans.In the text it said, “Smallpox is estimated to have killed 70 to 80 percent of Native Americans.” “Holding Columbus responsible is not logical.” Without Columbus we wouldn’t be at this land.Columbus day should be celebrated because Columbus changed our history.

# data[].attributes.body
II dont think he should be celibrated for what he did

# data[].attributes.body
Columbus also spread many disease and owned slaves and stole natives land which were in america before him. also what did he even help us out with

# data[].attributes.body
Good argument but I would add more evidence

# data[].attributes.body
Christopher Columbus didn't actually find america but people still celebrate on a day named after him and says that he did.

# data[].attributes.body
I think your reasoning is good but also, many people already don't celebrate the day so shouldn't there just be a choice?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the times were different in the past and that is one of the reasons that he sold the people as slaves

# data[].attributes.body
But Christopher Columbus brought over some diseases as well

# data[].attributes.body
Claim | Citizens of the U.S. should not celebrate Columbus Day because.
Evidence | According to the article citizens do not really remember like Columbus or remember him. When Columbus was in power their was justice but it wasn’t really equal.
Commentary | It is from the article
Conclusion  | I think that we should not celebrate Columbus day because he did many bad things.

# data[].attributes.body
Christopher Columbus should not be celebrated because he killed many Native Americans. As stated in the article Should we celebrate Christopher Columbus, when he found the new world(The Americans) he led to a massive Native American massacre. He had killed many of the Native Americans because he wanted their land and their resources. People should take this into consideration because celebrating a person who killed people should not be celebrated in the U.S.   Christopher Columbus had many Native Americans killed so the U.S. should not celebrate Christopher Columbus day.

# data[].attributes.body
but he didn't even touch north america he hit the Bahamas

# data[].attributes.body
United State citizens shouldn’t continue to celebrate Christopher Columbus day because he didn't  actually find America.
He didn’t actually land in America he landed in Cuba and killed innocent people.
Because knowing that it could change how people see Colombus day.
Christopher Columbus day shouldn’t be celebrated because of the evidence above and because just shouldn’t be celebrated.

# data[].attributes.body
Claims | U.S citizens should not continue celebrating christopher columbus day because he spread disease and had slaves.

evidence | In the article it states that christopher columbus spread the disease smallpox which killed many natives.

commentary | My evidence matters because many native americans died and natives lived in america before columbus and they were treated very unfairly.

conclusion | Overall the natives were treated unfairly and christopher columbus day should not be celebrated.

# data[].attributes.body
Claim | U.S. citizens should celebrate Columbus day, but as a day of remembrance for both Columbus and the natives because both were involved with the founding of the new world.
Evidence | According to Silvio Laccetti, McClatchy Tribune, and Los Angeles Times Editorial Board “Natives were massacred. Villages were destroyed and tribes forcibly relocated.”According to  Silvio Laccetti, McClatchy Tribune, and Los Angeles Times Editorial Board    “He was also a great explorer, a fearless adventurer, a man of faith and a leader who blazed a path to the modern world.”
Commentary | This evidence proves that columbus did do a great thing in creating the path to the new world but it also proves that natives suffered in the process.
Conclusion | In a final statement, U.S. citizens should celebrate columbus day as a day of remembrance for both columbus and american natives.

# data[].attributes.body
We should not celebrate Columbus Day because Christopher Columbus really didn’t discover America. Christopher Columbus misjudged on how large the Earth was actually. In fact, this made him land in the Bahamas, and Cuba. So, one could say that he was horrible at Math. This of course later rebounded back at him in unnecessary praise.  In conclusion, Columbus Day shouldn't be celebrated because the “discoverer” himself never discovered the country.

# data[].attributes.body
Claim: U.S citizens should continue celebrating Columbus Day because he changed the world.

Evidence: The text states, “Columbus was a product of his time. He was also a great explorer, a fearless adventurer, a man of faith and a leader who blazed a path to the modern world.”

Commentary: This means Columbus did whatever it took to be a great leader.

Conclusion: U.S citizens should continue celebrating Columbus Day because he changed the world.

# data[].attributes.body
Claim | We should celebrate Columbus Day, because Columbus did alot to try and help us and he deserves to be celebrated.

Evidence | Columbus sailed across the Atlantic ocean 4 times trying to find a direct water route.

Commentary | Although he didn’t find one, he did discover the new world, and without him we may of never found the New world

Conclusion | We should keep it because he effected our history alot.

# data[].attributes.body
Claim | We should still celebrate Columbus day because if it weren't for him the mass majority of us would not be here today.
Evidence | Columbus brought over many European traditions and ways of life. In contrary his troops did push out a large amount of the Native Americans, but that is also not the only cause to the Native Americans disappearance. For an example SmallPox was said to have killed 70-80%.
Commentary | Columbus provided many large aspects to how were are today, and although he could have changed his ways with the Natives, he did a large amount of great things.
Conclusion | In conclusion, Columbus day should remain a holiday because if it werent for him few or none of us would be here today.

# data[].attributes.body
Claim:  People should celebrate Columbus Day because he was an explorer and he found the The New World , and he was a perfect leader.

Evidence:  Silvio Laccetti says “Columbus was a product of his time.  He was also a great explorer, a fearless adventurer,  a man of faith and a leader who blazed a path to the modern world.”

Commentary:  This proves that research says Columbus was a very helpful and useful person.  He had multiple accomplishments that have changed our lives today.

Conclusion:  Columbus was a very smart and wise person.  He was always making other lives better, therefore we should all celebrate Columbus’s live.

# data[].attributes.body
We should not celebrate Columbus day because, he did not actually discover America. He enslaved innocent natives. When the natives did not give him spices or gold he started to kill them. He killed innocent natives that actually were causing him no harm.

# data[].attributes.body
Claim: We should not celebrate columbus day because Christopher columbus took native americans and brought them to Europe and sold them as slaves, Which goes against how “us” Americans fought a war to end slavery but apparently now people think that it’s okay to celebrate someone who sold people as slaves. Another reason is from the article “Pro/Con: Should We Celebrate Christopher Columbus?” Christopher Columbus burned down and slaughtered several Native American tribes which means he is a murderer and I know that quite a few people don’t like/Accept murder. In conclusion we should not celebrate Christopher Columbus Day.

# data[].attributes.body
We should celebrate Columbus Day because he is not completely at fault for a lot of the Native American deaths. The deaths of Native Americans by smallpox cannot be blamed on Columbus because he could not have been responsible for all of the deaths of natives to decrease over the many centuries that the disease spread. This evidence is important because it would be illogical to blame the deaths of Natives on Columbus for centuries after he came to America and unknowing spread disease. Columbus Day should be celebrated because he is not fully at fault for all of the Native Deaths in America.

# data[].attributes.body
Claim:  U.S. citizens should not continue to celebrate the holiday Columbus day because although people were celebrating the holiday, he also

Evidence: The article text says “Of course, giving workers a day off does not make up for centuries of discrimination, enslavement and government-approved killing of Native Americans., nor would wiping Columbus Day off the calendar.”

Commentary: We should not celebrate this holiday because at the same time he killed natives

Conclusion: Therefore we should discontinue this holiday because although he discovered north america he also killed natives in the process

-----------------------------------------------Second claim
We definitely should celebrate Columbus Day because if it wasn't for him we would still not have a free country. We now have freedom and we have a lot of responsibilities that we can speak about or protest all of those great rights came from him, Christopher Columbus. Therefore we should celebrate him because he gifted us this great freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
Claim: U.S. citizens should continue to celebrate Columbus day, because Columbus did a lot to change our history, and he deserves to be celebrated.

Evidence:| Christopher Columbus sailed across the atlantic ocean 4 times, in hopes to find a direct water route.

Commentary :Although he didn’t find a direct water route, he did find the New World, and if he hadn’t of found it, we may not be in the same place we are today.

Conclusion: We should keep Columbus Day, because Christopher did a lot to effect our history, and we should celebrate him.

# data[].attributes.body
SHOULD WE CELEBRATE                      COLUMBUS DAY?

claim | We should not celebrate columbus day because not many people celebrate this holiday and the progress for him led to injustice for others who were living there

evidence | According to the article It says that the progress for some led to injustice for others and when the teacher asked if anybody knew that  it was columbus day nobody raised their hand

commentary | It is accurate evidence

conclusion | I don’t think we should celebrate columbus day
