Like the Confederates, we already beat the indigenous people in in battle.

Thing is for some it is an *optional day*. Not a given. That, MLK and Veteran's Day.

Well, we mostly accidentally killed the vast majority via disease that we incubated through close animal husbandry, trade, and urban agglomerations within the vast network of civilizations in Africa and Eurasia which made up the Old World.

The unfortunate thing is even after that decimation, we also continued to sort of kill and corral the survivors. Pretty rough treatment, I'd say.

what did he do for Italy?
Spain was the gateway into the ocean. He went out to prove a theory. Should we pretend none of this happened?

No but we can ask questions. Why do Italian-Americans think so greatly of Columbus when he wasn't even sailing for Italy though? If Italy was so cool, why didn't he sail for his own country? I'm just asking questions.

And how was Spain the gateway to the Atlantic? Send me a link to that one, I might as well learn something on my day off.

We should pretend none of that ever happened.
