There was no country here because the SAVAGES were killing each other, cutting out hearts, etc... It was one tribe after another. Just like anywhere else on the planet before they were a country.
The Left loves to pretend the land was all peaceful and Kum By Ya before Columbus came. That’s complete malarkey.
The Leftist only say that so we hate our country. The Leftist can go to H@ll. We are celebrating Columbus Day.
You are an Enlightened1 AND a CORRECT 1.
Exactly. I have always appreciated and enjoyed the volumes by Samuel Eliot Morison “Admiral of the Ocean Sea; Vol. 1 &2” and another two books about the other explorers of the New World.
Leftists like to make Columbus out to be a monster. He wasn’t, and was both like and unlike many men of his generation.
Germany wasn’t even a nation when Columbus sailed but a loose assortment of feudal states.
There were various New World nations speaking various languages ...and much later in the north, the British recognized certain Indian nations as such.
The Aztecs were not just a nation, they were an empire of conquest, not merely a single tribe, though they started as one. Incas and Mayas too, were nations. For the most part the other people around were akin to European city-states....
But it’s true there was no single monolithic continent spanning nation. Not that that is even relevant to the issue.
