After reading the first chapter, "Columbus, the Indians, and Human Progress" of Howard Zinn's book, "A People's History of the United States," my views on Columbus completely shifted to another direction. A new one. All my respects for Christopher Columbus completely fades away and I unveil the truth of Columbus. The story told to children and the reality of Columbus described by Zinn are two very different stories. It seems like the story told to children was just a deception to hide the violence that happened and see Columbus as just the founder of America. This was the mask worn by Columbus to be seen as a hero of America, but behind the mask of hero lies a true monster than is not less cruel than Hitler. The true identity of this hero lies a villain. This is just like the Joker being Batman after all. After reading this chapter i was very surprised of what i heard about Columbus as a child and what I found out from reading the chapter. Columbus thought like a dictator. He was racist and hated on the Jews and the moors and saw the Indians as an opportunity for slavery. These evil thoughts came out from the hero of the children. He wiped out islands just for his own people and used the fact that the Indians were less civilized to take advantage over them and kill them all for their land and resources. This is a very inhumane and disgusting act. In my opinion, I believe that the children of America and the world should have the rights to know who Christopher Columbus is. Celebrating Columbus day is just as horrible as celebrating Hitler for gassing all the Jews or like the Japanese thanking the Americans for bombing Hiroshima and creating a better Japan. You wouldn't want your children worshiping Satan, and Christopher Columbus day is just as evil as the devil and does not deserve to be looked up upon. In fact, Columbus day shouldn't even exist anymore. That sailing the blue sea to find a better world crap is no longer legit after discovering the inconvenient truth. From now on, Christopher Columbus will be known as the one who bought death to America or the one who stole America. After all, discovering America was kind of an accident. They misunderstood America to be India after and only went there for the gold. Columbus, you lucky qfuhasdkfjhuwf.

Columbus Day
As a child, I've heard stories about Columbus and his famous conquest to India. He is known for discovering the new land, America and was respected among young children. Children were proud of his great discovery and worshiped him as the founder of America, but little did we know the truth of Columbus.
