The reasons given were the same as you listed, yet was, of course, conveniently ignored that the very &quot;Native Americans&quot;, the present local tribes instead &quot;celebrated&quot;, were responsible for the wholesale slaughter of the two tribes/groups previously inhabiting the area, and to the extent that neither existed afterward. Apparently negatives attached to Columbus, or worse, no longer apply when committed by so-called &quot;natives&quot;. If certain present-day moral standards are to be applied to historical figures/people, it rightfully needs to be done across the board. The revisionist version of history is a dangerous one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
