Well put. I have always wondered why Christopher Columbus is credited with discovering America when there were already people here watching him get off the boat. Not to mention the fact that he never landed in the country most people think of when they hear the word America, the U.S., he landed in the Bahamas on his first voyage, the Greater and Lesser Antilles on his second voyage, and Central America, the Caribbean coast of Venezuela on his third voyage, and Martinique on his fourth voyage.
