I wanna visit FIRST NATIONS DAY, bitch.

Get in a boat, land on an island, deny that it's not the "New World" but India you landed on, abduct some locals to use as slaves back home, and leave behind deadly diseases that wipe out a significant portion of the population AND GET A HOLIDAY NAMED AFTER YOU & CREDIT FOR DISCOVERING AMERICA 500 years after Leif Ericson established L'Anse aux Meadows.

Just... What even? Cristoforo Columbo Colombo doesn't deserve a US holiday named after him.

Some of the stuff the US gov't did back in the early 20th century was stupid, including the Income tax amendment.
