in Massachusetts
Christopher Columbus, was Italian but he set sail in Spain. A lot of people think that Columbus found gold. But I have something that I bet a lot of people disagree with me. He did not find gold. Now I should know because I have been studing him 4 years in a row. And all that time people say that he did. That is a lie.
But he did find the "New World." Now known as America. He meant to find a route to India but no. You probably think that he named it too. But no, he just found it. The word America, came from Amerigo Vesppuci. So he didn't find gold. He found America, but Amerigo Vesppuci named America.
