[quote=Anonymous]I think it's a good holiday. We should all celebrate the end of legalized slavery. I would like to get rid of Columbus day. I'm all for celebrating our nation but 4th of July does that. Columbus wasn't the first European to "discover" America and he certainly wasn't the nicest. The holiday was promoted to counter anti-Italian and anti-Catholic sentiment in the country. Which I understand. But most of his "accomplishments" were lies based on Washington Irving's fictional book.[/quote]
