THE HERO WHO LIED HIS WAY INTO HISTORY π¨
Great Hero

Once upon a time, there was a bold, brave explorer who wanted to discover a "New World."
He told his king:
π "Your Majesty, I have a genius idea! If I sail WEST, I will reach India faster!"
The king, who apparently failed geography, said, "Brilliant! Take our ships!"
So the great explorer set sail⦠and got completely LOST.
π He landed on a new land and thought: "Wow! These Indians look different!"
π He forced them to bring him gold, and when they said "We donβt have any," he chopped off their hands.
π He kidnapped their women, turned them into slaves, and said, "This is a civilized mission!"
When he got back home, he told his people:
π "Good news! We found India!"
π "The locals are friendly!" (After half of them were dead.)
π "There is gold everywhere!" (There wasnβt.)
And the people believed him. π
Historians wrote his name in books. Schools taught children that he was "a great hero." He even got a whole day named after him: Columbus Day.
But hereβs the truth: The man never "discovered" anything.
π He was lost.
π He was a fraud.
π He was a mass murderer.
And his name? Christopher Columbus.
The country that celebrates him? The United States of America.
Yes. America celebrates a liar, slave trader, and mass murderer as a "founding hero."
π Imagine celebrating a man who "discovered" a place where people were already living.
