What are your feelings/thoughts/opinions about your group's proposal on Columbus day?

My group chose to celebrate Columbus day. In my opinion, I think we should celebrate Columbus day because Columbus made a huge impact on America. It's part of history, it was something historically good. It was one of America's oldest holiday. So, why stop celebrating it since, it has been in American tradition for years. If we didn't celebrate it then, future kids wouldn't know anything about it. Also, if we continue to celebrate Columbus day, future kids would  look on their calendar and ask "what is Columbus day?" We as in the adults can tell the kids all about Columbus like who he was and what he did. Columbus was the one who started the Columbian exchange. The Columbian exchange was a widespread exchange of plants, culture, and animals between the Eastern and Western hemisphere. (old world and new world.) Without the Columbian exchange we wouldn't have all these goods. This is why I think we should continue to celebrate Columbus day.
