Christopher Columbus was awful (but this other guy wasn't)

RE: Christopher Columbus was awful (but this other guy wasn't)
I just wish they did a Leif Erickson day. Unlike Columbus, he actually landed on the continent (and also realised that he actually discovered a new land; it should be noted that something the article neglects to mention is that, up to his dying day, Columbus insisted the land he went to was India, even after other explorers proved him wrong), and, for all the Vikings' obsession with conflict, didn't actually try to commit genocide on the natives. There were skirmishes, of course, but nothing on the scale Columbus did.
