There should no longer be a day where we celebrate Christopher Columbus. He did not make any of the major discoveries that have been accredited to him. When he arrived on the shores of America, there were already 54 million Native Americans living there. It is believed that 95 percent of those 54 million natives were wiped out by Columbus and his crew. Some were killed during battle while others died from epidemics and infections brought by the Europeans. Additionally, Columbus was a thief; he stole land from the Vikings and the Native Americans. He robbed them of their possessions and he ruthlessly slaughtered them. Furthermore, it has been recorded that he sent for three Indian Leaders to be publicly beheaded in front of each of their tribes.
