Is Christopher Columbus a true american hero

Christopher Columbus is a man that can be called many things. He has been called a hero, a legend or even the man who discovered America. But what I would call him would be fearless, a liar, and confused.

Christopher Columbus is a fearless man. He wanted to find another trade route to Asia, but to do so he had to cross an ocean that had never been crossed before. The danger was noticeable.

Christopher Columbus is a confused man. In some ways the people in the old world was right about how he is just another explorer that got lucky.

He lied to a member of the queen’s court about who was going to be the royal governors. He was confused about who he was as a person. risk of being a failure, Columbus must have been a fearless man.

Columbus was not the hero that he or everyone in the modern world thinks he is. He was not sure of how to lead any of his people.
