Some posts I've seen recently basically compare Christopher Columbus' accomplishments to one hopping into their Prius or hipster junker and discovering some new trendy bar that offers espresso shots served in syringes and then telling all of their friends what a discovery was made. but that's more or less what happened, it's not like civilization didn't exist in the Americas before Europeans showed up No, not really. Christopher Columbus worked his butt off in horrendous, dangerous conditions and for many, many years.. and without the technology we are privileged with today.
