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

Re: colombus is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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

Re: colombus is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I meant by natives was native americans(indians you could say). If you didn't get my point entirely.

Re: colombus is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

Re: colombus is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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...

Re: colombus is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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

Re: colombus is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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

Re: colombus is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

Re: colombus is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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

Re: colombus is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
