    Christopher Columbus is celebrated every year in America on October 9th. Columbus is said to have sailed and discovered America in 1492. This is completely inaccurate and it is perplexing to think that people actually celebrate such an absurd person. The cruelty he caused, the slavery he established, and the credit he got for things he did not do, all contribute to why Columbus Day should not be celebrated. He cruelly harmed people for not accomplishing his orders, hunted men, and persuaded rape. Forcing labor, dispatching shipments of slaves, and setting detrimental habits, all were ways Columbus slavery. Lastly, Columbus got credit for discovering america, discovering that the world was flat, and spreading christianity.…

    The American Civil War was not the first war to be photographed, that honour goes to photographer Roger Fenton in 1855 who took pictures of the Crimean war, but it was considered the first major conflict to be extensively photographed. Some historians even argue that people know more about the American Civil War than any other war, up to World War Two because of the vast amount of photographs taken during this time. Not only did fearless photographers venture onto the war torn battlefields, but the very images that they captured were then widely displayed and sold in large amounts nationwide. Photographers such as Mathew Brady discovered eager audiences for his images as America 's interests were rocked by this shockingly realistic medium. For the first time in history, citizens from the comfort of their own homes could view the reality of the carnage of war and its faraway battlefields. Some experts even say that the biggest impact of Civil War photos was that this explosion of images changed the way the public perceived the war by turning people, removed from the fighting, into eye witnesses of the bloodshed, in other words, Civil War photographs removed much of the supposed romance that surrounded warfare. The people were able to witness the horrific conditions that the soldiers had to face, not just from the viciousness of battle, but to the very poorly maintained field hospitals; where disease from poorly treated wounds would kill just as many soldiers as the battlefield itself.…

    Why should this day be celebrated in the first place? Columbus Day should not be celebrated, but should be removed. Although it might be nice to have the day off of work or school, the meaning behind this holiday is completely immoral. Technically, Columbus did not even discover the Americas because the lands were already inhabited. Columbus was guilty of the genocide of many Native Americans, or “Indians”, as they were commonly known as during that time. Columbus also did not bring much additional knowledge to the Europeans when stumbling upon the Americas. These show how Columbus Day should be looked at with new eyes to see the flaws behind it.…
