I think that we should not celebrate Columbus Day because he did not discover America, he enslaved Native Americans, and he made other Native Americans mine for gold. Columbus Day is meant to remember the day Columbus discovered America, but he did not.
Everyone believe that the vikings found
the Newfoundland in Canada way before Columbus did. Not everyone wants to celebrate a man who opened Americans to the Europeans colonization. Columbus doesn't need all of these parades and holidays.

A lot of people think that we should celebrate Columbus Day. In my opinion I don't think we should. You may ask why? Well because he enslaved a lot of people for gold. He kicked people out of their homes to take over their land. He also wasn't the one to discover America. The native americans were here way before he got to America. I know this information because i read about it in class.

Weather or not we should celebrate Columbus Day?We should celebrate  Columbus Day. Columbus was the first European to sail over the ocean and find america. He also recorded history. Christopher Columbus made this culture,without this culture we wouldn't be here or be speaking this language. Columbus  has to be celebrated. What if he enslave  a couple of people and made them rebuild things.The point is that he found america,made us,created a new world and now we have a new culture.              To start off Christopher Columbus sailed all this way and found america and you don"t give a little credit to him. Sure people died just to find america. Columbus found new land and sailed to find more land.Columbus also had more adventures in his life but the main one is america. Not only he found america, America was born. It quotes,"The people who came brought their hopes, dreams and knowledge." Another

What do you think when you hear Columbus Day ? Do you like Columbus Day ? Well a lot of people don't . Why ? Well because one , he did not really discover America like he said he did . Two , he enslaved Bahamians for gold and lastly he took Spain's land . This information is from a poem that I recently read in class .

Columbus , as you may think he discovered America ; but he really didn't . Christopher Columbus didn't really discover America the acients did , there was already things here before he came , meaning he didnt really discover America .

Moving on , Coulumbus took homes away from Native Americans . He took the Spain's land and told/forced them to leave . He commanded them to just get what they needed and to leave immediatly and destroyed the homes .

Lastly , Columbus brought slavery . He enslaved the Bahamians for gold .

I think that we should not have Columbus day because it's dedicating a inter day to a man that didn't find america. Columbus should not have a day after him because he had something to do with the natives kicked out of there land. Having a day names after you is a big reward we should only give rewards to people that earned it and to me he didn't really do any thing to deserved it . Columbus was a brave man but still he enslaved people okay sure he didn't do it just talking about but he still had something to do with it. On a different hand there was certainly writing in the Americas before Columbus arrived. He opened America to the European. Yet some people might think something different I'm not trying to change your believes .

Should we celebrate Columbus Day? Some people think we should celebrate Columbus Day because he found america but he didn't . Yes it seems like a surprise but it's really not.I know this because the Ancient people where her way before Columbus was here and they left behind writings and carved pictures and other stuff. Also he had enslaved the natives. Also we shouldn't celebrate Columbus Day cause just think about all the pain and suffering he had caused to the Native people. I bet most of the people didn't realize all the misery that followed after Columbus's arrived to america. According to the text there was land grabbing,enslavement,disease,death,and near extinction of the native peoples. According to the text one native man said "he doesn't deserve parades and holidays this should be a national day of mourning.

Columbus was not the first to find the land because there was already writing their, he just couldn't read it.On the other hand, others think that we should celebrate Columbus Day because it is a celebration to 26 million Italians.

Do you think we should celebrate Columbus Day? What do you think of Columbus? Do you think that Columbus was the first one to discover America?

To answer all of your questions Christopher Columbus did not discover America.In fact he thinks he was the first one to come to America but he wasn't. The vikings were the first people to live in America.

In my opinion we should not celebrate Columbus Day. He did all these bad things to America and made it worse.Some people think that its okay for Columbus to do what he did. But why? Why should we celebrate Columbus day? He has made people back then believe that he was a good person but if you do some research on Columbus he did some terrible things.

Another thing is that he enslaved people. The word has it that he enslaved the Taino people because he saw them on a island. If we were to live on a island when Christopher was alive don't you think that would mean that we would have been an enslaved person.

In conclusion for my opinion is that we should not celebrate Columbus Day nor shall we have parades for him.

I think Columbus day should not be a holiday because he didn't really Amurica. when Columbus found out that he was not the fist to discover amurica he enslaved people and made the mine for gold. then these people came and destroyed there land and then Columbus had the enslaved people rebuild it to an even better state than it already was in. Columbus day is meant to remember the day that Columbus found america but how are we soposed to celebrate it and actually be thankful when he didn't even dicover america. some native ameurcans were there before he was that's  why he enslaved those poor people. columbas wasent even nice to the people he was close to he was an evil old bat that has his undys in a wad. the people that came and raded there village they took every thing they had. columbas told every one he descoverd.

Hey many people think that Christopher Columbus found America and people celebrate Christopher Columbus Day . In my opinion i think that we do not have to celebrate Columbus Day .                                      One reason I think that we do not have to celebrate Columbus Day is because he did not discovered America and many people think he did but he did not . According form a essay called "The Columbus Day Dilemma To CELEBRATE OR NOT TO CELEBRATE  from The Holiday Blogger". " First of all many believe that viking started a colony on Newfoundland,Canada, , hundreds of years before Columbus arrived in the Caribbean .
Many people considered Columbus a hero for sailing to america and "his achievement of discovered america" but he is not a hero. one thing i think he is not a hero is because King Ferdinand had Columbus arrested for the mismanagement of Hispaniola and died on 1506.

After Columbus arrived more people settled down ,and started making states which helped form america. During the time of Columbus he recorded the history. People think Columbus didn't discover america, but really he started the american idea. The idea was formed through have states the cultures brought by many people. while people think Mayans were here first people created real states.  Like I said earlier people had settled down with Columbus in states. Columbus recorded the history of his enslaving. But think maybe he had a good reason  for it. In conclusion people think he was bad but what would happen if we have him. he made states recorded history and started the american idea. So are you with me or agenst me.

We shouldn't celebrate Columbus Day because just think about all the pain and suffering he caused. When he came over here he basically took the native's land without their permission. Plus when they destroyed the village he build he enslaved them breaking them apart from their loved ones. I mean how would you feel if someone came into your house and kicked you out. And if that isn't bad enough he also brought over diseases such as smallpox, measles, influenza. I mean i can understand he brought over European culture and stuff. But with that culture he brought death, diseases, enslavement, and a lot of pain. And even worse he after he died the people he brought with him still caused a lot if not even more pain.

In my opinion I don't think we should celebrate Columbus Day , because the fact that he wasn't the greatest person everyone thought he was. I heard that he really didn't discover america. That may be false , that may be true. We may never know at all. But allot of people like to celebrate this holiday , and some don't. I haven't ever celebrated it ... so I am not used to celebrating this holiday. Also the holiday wasn't a very big holiday celebrated by people, so that's another reason why i don't think we should celebrate Columbus Day anymore.. cause there isn't any reason to. He enslaved many native american's , and that is not something we would like to celebrate today. Not very many people like to celebrate Columbus Day because of that. That is why we should not celebrate Columbus Day anymore.

I think that we shouldn't celebrate Columbus Day, Columbus did not descover america the ancients did, When Columbus found america he noticed that america was already discovered Columbus was really upset about that. He destroyed people's home and he also enslaved people and he made them rebuild their homes and mine for gold. Just because Columbus enslaved people and made them mine for gold and rebuild people's home's dosen't mean we shouldn't celebrate it, It shouldn't be a day off for job's
