Christopher coloums
The reading argues that Christopher Columbus symbolized America’s, whereas the lecture says
no.
To begin with, the author argues that in the early nineteenth century, American’s visualized
Columbus as the symbol of progress. The article mentions that Columbus was seen as a free
man, a trailblazer seeking new lands, and a fearless adventure man. This specific argument is
challenged by the lecturer. He claims that Columbus was actually a business man for Spain.
Additionally, he says that he job is to find gold and spices by sailing to different new areas. In
turn he would get ten percent of what he brings.
Secondly, the writer suggests that America of today, much like America of the past, is a country
of contrasts and fragmentation. In the article, it is said that even though political and religious
divides America into different aspects. Yet Christopher Columbus name is what brings
Americans together. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that in 1942 Columbus
sailed ‘blue ocean’. He elaborates on this by bringing up the point that North America was
already has been discovered. In 11 th century king Viking had already arrived Canada before
Columbus ever showed up. Hence, Columbus din not even set foot on American soil.
Furthermore, he made landfall in the present day Bahamas, then went to explore present day
Cuba.
Finally, the author posits that American’s consider Columbus to be of our nation’s founding
father. Moreover, it is stated in the article that Columbus Day, spend some time thinking about
what Christopher Columbus means to American’s. In contrast, the lecturer’s position is
Columbus was really a business man in search of goods like gold and spices for Spain. He notes
that all he found is people instead of goods. Consequently, he took 25 Indian people back to his
original place for slave work in the new world.
