Christopher Columbus set sail on August 3, 1492.

And False, Christopher Columbus didn't prove that the Earth is round.

Kids in school have been long taught that when Columbus set sail in 1942o find a new route to the East Indies, it was feared he would fall off the edge of the Earth because people then thought the planet was flat. Nope. As early as the sixth century B.C, Pythagoras later followed by 2 people wrote about the Earth as a sphere, and historians say there is no doubt that the educated in Columbus's day quite knew that the Earth was round.

Answer:

“Immigrant” has become a kind of epithet these days, and not only in France. Everywhere in Europe, and also in the United States, immigrants are blamed for all manner of problems: crime, unemployment, disease, the deterioration of public services, the exhaustion of public funds, threats to liberal culture and mores. Right-wing populist politicians in nearly every country of the Western Hemisphere appeal to voters with plans to cleanse the national body of these impure invaders, to expel them, to build walls to keep them out.

Supplemental Essay Question: In your opinion, how do both major parties,
erik [133]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In my opinion, both major parties, Democrats & Republicans, eliminate third parties and their agendas because they exert dominant control over third parties and their candidates in that it is too much money Democrats and Republicans collect via donations from their followers. This money is used to organize and operate the political campaigns and buy all kinds of advertising through traditional media and social media. Third parties do not the money and infrastructure to represent a real threat to those two established and traditional parties in the United States. Among the third parties that have competed in US elections of the past, we find the Whig Party, Federalist Party, and National Republican Party, Populist Party, and Progressive Party.
