Twice on his third and fourth voyages.
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

Columbus was important in that he opened the Americas up to the Euros. The people who made it there prior didn't.

If by opened up, you mean genocide, slavery, rape, plunder, you are correct.
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

Columbus didn't venture as far as N. America. For that you can thank John Cabot (Giovanni Caboto) who 'found' N. America for the British and is the reason that they established colonies in N. America.

This won't get through the Senate, and it certainly won't make it past President Trump's veto pen.

My statement stands as a fact.

It's a fact that Columbus discovered S. America while trying to find a route to India (the northwest passage) and in fact thought S. America was part of Asia. Cabot tried to find a more northerly (and shorter) route to Asia and bumped into N. America in June of 1497 which was also thought to be part of Asia. Columbus has nothing to do with the discovery of N. America or its later colonization by the British. Cabot established the route from Britain to N. America, which had everything to do with the establishment of the 13 colonies and the founding of America.
