1 comments about Columbus Day (American Holidays).
- Christopher Columbus is revered more in the United States than probably any other place in the Western Hemisphere. This is because he is perceived as the embodiment of American values, rugged individualism, courage, initiative persistance and ingenuity. Yet, in reality, he was a much more complex figure and his legacy is checkered, although his courage, intelligence and seamanship are in no doubt, even by those who do not view the consequences of his discovery of American in a positive light.
Columbus did not set out to discover "the New World", but was seeking an alternate route to the Far East. His stumbling upon the new lands of the Western Hemisphere was an completely unintended result of his "Enterprise of the Indies" and was never comprehended by him. A greater irony is that the Catholic Columbus sailing for Catholic Spain is most revered in the mostly English-speaking Protestant United States, a country that he never set foot in, didn't believe existed and was named for somebody else (Amerigo Vespucci).
In spite of all this, I believe that young Americans should be aware of the origins of their country and culture and studying Columbus, the man who made possibly the biggest revolution in human history, is the best place to start.
