The real Christopher Columbus was not the same person everyone expected. People believe that he was a nice and kind person but after what I am going to explain, your mind will change. Columbus happened to not be the one to discover america. While trying to find it he traveled in many journeys and never reached north america. He ended up finding the island where Haiti is and the caribbean islands and he didn't get close to north america. While one those islands he found people, and in his mind he thought that he could get gold and other things from them. Columbus decided to take the natives back with him as slaves including females who were used as sex slaves at that time. Also to make them produce more gold he would put something around their necks if they got their amount of gold due at that time and if they didn't, he would cut off their hands and make them wear it.
I do not think people in the United States should celebrate Columbus day in his name anymore. It mainly does not make sense because he was not the one to discover america and yet people think that he did. Also many people do not know what he had done in his life including selling females for sex slaves and many other things. Also after one of his journeys he came back in chains and went to jail for what he was doing.
