Columbus Day

Christopher Columbus was the founder of America. He was an italian explorer, navigator and colonizer. He was also a citizen of the republic of Genoa. He made four trips across the atlantic ocean from spain. His first voyage into the atlantic ocean  almost costed him his life in 1476. Christopher was determined to find a direct water route west from europe to asia but unfortunately he never did. Christopher accidently found america because on the way of his voyage he stumbled upon america. Reflection: Christopher wasn’t really the founder of america because people were already living on it but, iguess he’s still important.
