Why did Christopher Columbus’s men blindly follow him?

History
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Columbus himself had made that assumption. His discoveries posed for him, as for others, a problem of identification. It seemed to be a question not so much of giving names to new lands as of finding the proper old names, and the same was true of the things that the new lands contained. Cruising through the Caribbean, enchanted by the beauty and variety of what he saw, Columbus assumed that the strange plants and trees were strange only because he was insufficiently versed in the writings of men who did know them. "I am the saddest man in the world," he wrote, "because I do not recognize them."

Is it fair that third party candidates take away from the two political parties why or why not
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

it is fair, third party candidates decide who to vote for so there would be a competition between the Democratic party and the Republican party it is also not fair because even though you can vote for a third party candidate, they cannot win the election so if you vote for a third party candidate, you are basically wasting your vote.

Explanation:

My answer is no, it is not fair and for example, the 2016 election, we had our Democrat: Hillary Clinton and our Republican: Donald Trump, and then we had a third party candidate: which was D88z N8ts funny ig but he was voted by over 9% of people who voted in the election, therefore people wasted their vote on him just to be funny i guess but those votes could have gone to another candidate.
