Columbus Trivia! What were the names of his ships? NinaPinta Santa Maria

Odd Facts  Columbus could not get funding from any Italians so he sailed for the Spanish who funded him. Why?  America is named after Amerigo Vespucci who never set foot in North America. He was actually a map maker!

Contact  After two months of travel with a crew of 50 men, Columbus spotted land.  Actually, it is said that one of his crew members spotted it first (A man named Rodrigo), but Columbus did not want to give him the credit.  YouTube (Columbus sighting land) YouTube (Columbus sighting land) YouTube (Columbus sighting land)

Columbus’ ugly side  Columbus did return to the New World.  In 1493, 1498 and  He returned with intent to enslave the natives, retrieve gold and increase his overall legend.  He did not find much of the gold he was looking for and many of his intended slaves died on the journey Videos of Famous Historical Figures - Biography.com

Fate of the Natives  Some of the research surrounding Columbus does not paint a pretty picture.  So why is Columbus day celebrated in the United States?  YouTube - Columbus Day YouTube - Columbus Day YouTube - Columbus Day

Remember: Bias/Frame of Reference   Columbus Day recognizes the achievements of a great Renaissance explorer who founded the first permanent European settlement in the New World.   The arrival of Columbus in 1492 marks the beginning of recorded history in America.   After Columbus, came millions of European immigrants who brought their art, music, and culture.   These people helped shape the United States and include Greek democracy, Roman law, Judeo-Christian ethics and the tenet that all men are created equal.

More reasons…   Columbus Day is a patriotic holiday. In fact, the Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 in honor of the 400th anniversary of his first voyage. That year, President Benjamin Harrison declared Columbus Day a legal holiday.   The United States has a significant collection of Columbus memorabilia, including his desk, papers, and the cross he used to claim the New World for Spain.   Columbus Day is the only day on which the nation recognizes the heritage of an estimated 26million Italian Americans.
