Are Modern Attacks On Columbus Justified?

Are modern attacks on Columbus justified?

Christopher Columbus discovered America. The Vikings discovered America in the 11th century, about 400 years before Christopher Columbus did. What does this entirely mean? Today in the modern world everyone is stuck thinking who did discover America. Through tradition and popular legend, Christopher Columbus is believed to be the first explorer to “discover” America. But his original purpose was to sail west to Asia rather than east and not to discover America. But some people disagree with Christopher Columbus being the first man to “discover” America. There are many different sides to the stories about Columbus, but modern attacks on Columbus are not justified because Christopher Columbus had good navigational skills and knowledge about the Atlantic Ocean before his voyage, Christopher Columbus main purpose for his voyage was not deceiving and conquest, and he was able to prove after his voyages.

Columbus was a good navigator, he learned about the winds and ocean currents from the local pilots and sailors before making his voyage. One time in the waters off the coast of Africa and near the Canary Islands, Columbus observed the ocean phenomenon known as the Canaries Current.
