(by Jeanne Allen, Washington Examiner) – Today, Columbus Day is unjustly under assault in some quarters. City councils in some cities have voted to replace it with “Indigenous Peoples Day,” or something similar, and many students are taught nothing of Columbus’ contributions. Thankfully, it remains a federal holiday and a state holiday as well in much of the country.

A [2017] Marist Poll shows why: Those campaigning against Columbus Day are in the minority. Marist shows that even with all of the attacks on Columbus, 57 percent of Americans believe it’s a good idea to have a holiday named for him. Only 29 percent believe it’s a bad idea. The reason is clear: three-quarters (76 percent) believe that Columbus and other historical figures should be judged by the standards of conduct during the time they lived in rather than by the standards of today. It’s important to understand why we must fight back on attempts to erase his just place in history.

Even by today’s standards, and despite what you might hear, Columbus was a man whose approach to the native people he met during his first voyage was exemplary, taking delight in their friendliness and happy demeanor. He was firm in his orders to his men not to abuse them in any way, and severely disciplined those who disobeyed. He was less pleased with those from other tribes he encountered later, such as the warlike Caribs, who practiced canabalism. …

It turned out that while millions of people had developed distinct civilizations before Columbus dared to cross the Atlantic Ocean barrier that separated them, human nature was much the same in each place:

Slavery was a well-established practice in the Americas long before Columbus arrived. The Spanish monarchs, on the other hand, forbade slavery of the indigenous people of the Americas, granting them same rights of citizenship enjoyed by the people of Spain.

Today’s largely secular society often has trouble understanding that among the most important motivations of both Columbus and the Spanish monarchs was a desire to evangelize those they encountered elsewhere in the world to Christianity. Deeply-felt religious beliefs and aspirations appear again and again in Columbus’s diaries and other journals and documents. …..

Presidents have lauded Columbus for well over a century. President William Howard Taft personally reviewed a huge parade at the unveiling the Columbus Memorial in front of Washington DC’s Union Station in 1912.

President Ronald Reagan declared him: “a brilliant navigator, a fearless man of action, a visionary who opened the eyes of an older world to an entirely new one.
