Their is many theories and evidence proving Columbus wasn't the first person to land in the new world from the old world and so we reject Columbus day as a federal holiday.
Columbus day is celebrated to honor Columbus' voyages to the New World. His "discovery" of the New World literally changed history forever.
Guanahani island was the first land in the New World seen and visited by Christopher Columbus. It was first sighted on October 12, 1492.
he saw Land and Indians which they are unknown till this day?

Christopher Columbus discovered the 'New World' now known as America.
columbus day is consisered bad , because christopher columbus didnt really discover america. it already had civilization on it . in the pocess of "discovering" america he did capture and enslave inhabitants that where alrady there.
it is the day christopher Columbus founded America when he thought he was in India so when he saw people on the land he called then INDIAn's and claimed the land
Columbus day is significant because it was the day that clolumbus sailed and discovered land and named it the America
I do not believe that there would be Columbus Day because other than the discovery and settlement of "the new world" Columbus was not very extraordinary (from my research). He was born into a poor family and never received formal education. Also, his knowledge of geography, navigation, exploration, and settlement was learned by listening to old sailors in the Port of Genoa and in Maderia (where his wife inherited land).
because he found a land and called it San salvador
