  18. We celebrate Columbus Day because Columbus found America but thought it was India. Banks, the US post offices, other federal agencies, most state government offices, and some school districts get Columbus Day off. It's a federal holiday. I think we should have a half-day off, but not the whole day. Columbus Day isn't that important to me.

  27. Columbus day is when Christopher Columbus sailed across the world to prove that the world was round. Columbus day was also celebrated in 1792, to honor the day Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492.Columbus day first became an official holiday in Colorado 1905. I think we should have a day off. He led four expeditions to the new world but never accomplished his original goal, to find the western ocean route to Asia.

  28. We celebrate Columbus day not to celebrate one of the worlds biggest jerks, but to celebrate new colonizations. Without him we wold not have learned about the Americas for a lot longer. So I even though Christopher Columbus was a jerk, it is a good thing he was around. Then again he did give the native Americans smallpox. Which wiped out half of there population. Was it good or bad, I'll let you mull it over.

  30. Columbus Day first became an official state holiday in Colorado in 1905, and became a federal holiday in 1934. People have celebrated Columbus' as a Holiday and school shod get the day off. some schools do but I guess. Hawaii celebrates Discoverer's Day, where they include John Cook, who put Hawaii's coordinates on the map. I guess that's a good resin to celebrate Columbus day. Today, we celebrate Columbus day for what it accurately is. It is the discovery of the New World or the new world then.
