On October 12th, we celebrate Columbus Day in the US. Write a paragraph about what you envision what the Americas would look like had Christopher Columbus NOT sailed the ocean blue.

Some things to think about:
Would the Americas eventually have been rediscovered?
Would the age of Enlightenment have taken place without the discovery?
How would all lives around the world today be different had the Americas not been discovered?
Anything else you would like to add?
