U.S. History - Chapter 2 Reflection
What caught my interest while reading Chapter 2 was a fact I never knew: Christopher Columbus sailed to the Americas during the Renaissance. Throughout the history classes I have taken, I was never told of or aware of this. I took AP European History in the 10th grade, and even then my teacher at that time did not tell us this fact

I share the same thing. though out the years all i knew was " Columbus was the one who discovered the Americas" . However, in one of my art history classes there was an other light to that story. i learned that the Vikings were actually the first way before columbus and made me think are they what we call the natives now?
