colombus is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no offense is anyone who happens to read is is by any amazingly small chance related to him.....i'm sorry. but he is

Leif Ericson, son of erik the red, lead an expedition to be the first european to land on north america, and beat columbus by nearly half a century. but i'm glad columbus game, otherwise i wouldn't be here talking to all you wonderful people that i've never met.

to clarify a few things most people belive that Ericson did actually get to America before Columbus but there is no pure evidence supporting that

fine, first european. and they have uncovered settlements up in canada or that area that are likely remains of a viking settlement. and really, greenland's rather close, so it's not at all unlikely

What I meant by natives was native americans(indians you could say). If you didn't get my point entirely.

For most of us (minus the native americans) who are from the U.S though, face it...we wouldn't be here if it weren't for him.

Well yes, that's true. If it wasn't for anything that was in history, who knows how things could have turned out.

Wow, you've really managed to find out something that many people already knew of! :O Just like Columbus!

Also, Amerigo Vespuchi discovered the continent of North America, that we know of for sure. Leaf Ericson isn't a for-sure thing...

no, but its a pretty likely thing. theyve found viking-style settlements up north, which is a good indicator. there's a good chance they were here first

certain ppl have a conspiracy against Colombus, dealing with his actions toward the Native Americans already here. But I don't think I shud say cuz it might lead into political/racial arguments

Arya, one thing that you can mean by "they got raped" is like, they got owned...but Crazy did say "in more than one way" so...in other words they got owned and...not saying the rest lol. I believe that's what Crazy is saying.

i dont know if columbus did THAT kind of stuff, but we do know that he was a total jerk to the native americans....he tricked them into giving him stuff and he cut their hands off for no reason.... according to my history teacher :?

Funny stories-he wanted to establish trade with India (too bad he landed in America) so there is no way for him to behave agressivly! THough I'm no fan of Columbus and I rather prefer Vikings as first explorers .) Anyway first people who stepped on American land are Asians from long time ago who crossed Berings narrow when it was frozen :)
