Throughout our school years we learn about world history and how history books always glorify Christopher Columbus as a hero or as the greatest explorer of all time. However, while reading chapter two of the book “Lies My Teacher Told Me” by James W. Loewen, I wondered whether or not Christopher Columbus should be considered a hero? Based on the first four chapters of the book "The Lies My Teacher Told Me" and my own experience, I discovered how history textbooks presented Christopher Columbus as a role model and transformed Helen Keller into ignorance of the student. However, how many students know an embarrassing fact about Christopher Columbus; who was Helen Keller. In the first chapter of the book “Lies My Teacher”, this chapter of the book was amazed; this is the answer to whether or not Christopher Columbus should be considered a hero. Although we all appreciate Columbus' involvement in the discovery of the New World, we have even named him as a holiday. However, after reading and experiencing this chapter, I have been confronted with certain statements about him that make me believe that he is not the model as described in the history textbooks. Furthermore, I totally disagree with the idea of ​​considering Christopher Columbus a hero. For example, in chapter 2 of the book, Loewen states that "When Columbus and his men returned to Haiti in 1493, they demanded food, gold, spun cotton – everything the natives wanted, including sexual relations with their wives. To ensure cooperation, Columbus used punishment by example. In this passage it shows that Columbus did not treat the Native Americans as human beings, it seems that he is a dictator, and he came here on purpose, to conquer everything and steal the riches of the earth. What James means is to tell the public that people like Christopher Columbus and Woodrow Wilson do not deserve to be a role model and that history textbooks should not omit them and tell all sides the whole story. . For me, Ho Chi Minh and Christopher have something in common. For example, when I was in Vietnam, I knew this guy as a good leader, a perfect leader according to the Vietnamese playbook. However, when I came to America and studied American textbooks, I realized that I had been brainwashed for 14 years about Ho Chi Minh. First, how the Vietnamese textbook left out the facts about Ho Chi Minh during the Viet Nam War. He asked Russia for help, he asked for money, weapons and an army to fight against South Viet Nam, supported by American troops. He also offered China aid and trade by selling 2 important lands of Viet Nam (Hoang SA, Truong SA) to China. However, South Viet Nam did not win due to Ho Chi Minh's perfect plan. He sent spies into the Southern army and secondly, too many American troops had fallen, and so South Vietnam had no support and was then taken over by Ho Chi Minh and turned Viet Nam into a country Communist. Many facts about Ho Chi Minh are hidden in the Vietnamese textbook: “Hue Massacre 1968”, more than 3,500 Vietnamese fell in this fight and “Land Reform in North Viet Nam 1946-1957” – he sent his army to conquer and
