Why Do Christopher Columbus Be Celebrated
“In fourteen hundred and ninety-two,
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He took three ships with him, too,
And called aboard his faithful crew.
Mighty, strong and brave was he
As he sailed across the open sea.
Some people still thought the world was flat!
Can you even imagine that?”
At such a young age this poem is engraved into the minds of young children as a way to celebrate Christopher Columbus. From singing songs about his ships, to eating a compass snack and reading stories many come to believe that Christopher Columbus was a hero as an indisputable fact. He found the America’s and thus must be celebrated for clearing the way for the countries of both North America and South America. For this reason many countries have celebrated Columbus
