In the 1940s, America was faced with a great decision, one that would affect not only the United States, but potentially the world. To enter war, or not to enter war? That was the question. Whether ‘tis more patriotic in the Americas to “sacrifice…normal interests in life in order to insure the safety and the welfare of [America]” or to take arms against a world of troubles, and by opposing end them (Lindbergh, and a little Shakespeare). Franklin D. Roosevelt and Charles Lindbergh represented the two sides of this argument: one strongly favored war while the other thought it would cause turmoil.

Charles Lindbergh also had skills such as his mind, curiosity, and mechanical skills.

As a result, Charles Lindbergh is remembered as one of the greatest explorers in history alongside Christopher Columbus. ("Daredevil Lindbergh and His Barnstorming
“The US honors 2 people with holidays bearing their names. Martin Luther King Jr, who gave his life combatting the legacy of slavery, and Christopher Columbus, who initiated it in the first place. (Confronting Columbus)”. Christopher Columbus, often known as a brave adventurer, was actually a perpetrator of genocide. Columbus Day should not be celebrated because of the horrendous behavior Columbus showed off, between the atrocities committed against the Natives and the self-absorption Columbus had, shows that he is not in fact a hero, but instead a villain.
