Aug. 3 1492 Columbus and 90 men set sail to find an easier route to Asia for spice merchants which was sponsored by Queen Isabella of Spain. Some people believe that Columbus was not a hero since he often claimed land that already belonged to other people and mistreated the natives of these areas. Columbus Day is now more focused on the discovery of the New World with a Columbus Day party. Columbus Day, designated as the second Monday in October, is a federal holiday to celebrate Columbus landing on America in 1492.
