Columbus discovered America. The folks who were living here at the time did not know where they were.

Columbus made the world aware of a new continent. The stone age people that were here had no idea and couldn’t let the world know about it ! 
Happy Columbus Day!

Christopher Columbus, Jewish gent who got turned down for funding a half dozen times, finally bought three tiny boats with other peoples' money, went looking for China and India, had no idea where he was, had a crew who nearly mutinied because of very crowded conditions and really lousy food, ran his flag ship aground and had to abandon her, finally got home again, came back two or three times, and eventually got a river and a few towns named after him.......and then a Dago came along later and got two whole continents named after him.....and Chris gets a holiday in his honor so all the drones get a day off. 

 

Besides, Leif Eriksson was here five hundred years earlier, and likely Irish fishermen were making catches along the East Coast not long after that, too.

Amerigo Vespucci was the first to identify TWO continents and made maps to prove it.

Portuguese fishermen salted cod from an undisclosed rich fishing ground. ( could have been the Grand Banks.)

Columbus was not Jewish he was Italian and he was financed by Isabella of Castile. It’s all right here…
