Just how greedy and barbaric the white man can be. All the old westerns depict the Indians as being the instigators of all the violence, but that is simply not true, The white man started the conflict, and they were also responsible for the very first scalping, they did NOT get that from the Indians. What happened to the Indians was as absolute disgrace. Makes me ashamed to be white.

First Christopher Columbus is on the mission to visit India, because at that time India was one of the richest country in the world.
Some people knows traditional way to go to India.
But he wants to find new way.
He started traveling from West side.
So in that way he found some islands where black peoples are living who are not so rich people.
He think it's a India.
After some time he finds that this is not India.
So he discovered new land naming it as West India (now West Indies).
After that he started to discovered some new lands along with that cost which is now known as America.
This is the short and true story about Columbus and America.

LOL Rae, the Indians (native Americans) discovered that those sticks that Columbus's men were carrying hur like the dickens when they made fire. they discovered that the blankets made them sick and die. that the Europeans had a sickness that made them crave Gold and Silver. that the Europeans had NO respect for the Earth, and seemed to feel that the Earth was theirs for the taking rather than something to be loved and tenderly cared for.

Wrong on all counts, lol. I don't really know about the restaurant thing (might be right). Fredrick Douglas didn't fight Indians and he was born waaaay after CC's death. Napoleon didn't go to war v. Hebrews. Also, Napoleon was way born after him. France was a country before CC. He was very cruel to Indians.

The Native Americans were in America first so I think it was them who actually discovered it. Christopher Columbus was secound to discover it.

they suspect Indians originated around Russia/Asia and when the water froze between Alaska and Russia they walked across it so i would say that yes Indians discovered America

1) the correct term is not Indians. it is Native Americans.
2) Columbus never "discovered" america. he took advantage of the opprotunity to sail across the ocean from england using massive amounts of money from the queen and king. he thought he had discovered china, embraced slave trade, and became extremely selfish in this process. his only desire was fortune and fame. many many men in his crew died on his 2nd and 3rd trip to America.
