Pre-Columbus American History

By Krishna Dowdall


There are many stories claiming that Columbus did not even set his foot in America, let alone discover it. Columbus is believed to have discovered America in 1492 passing through North America.

The history of Indian Americans dates back in 1902. They are of diverse backgrounds with stratified social classes from lowly educated to highly educated, rich and the poor.

Most Indian Americans left India in search of jobs and better opportunities, and the greatest number are part of a group referred to as Sikhs, though you may also hear the term Punjab.

Though Indian Americans have Indian origin, there population in America has increased tremendously. From 200 in 1902, to more than 2.15 million to date.

The economic circumstances of Indian Americans have become vastly diverse, with many from this group serving as business owners and organizational leaders of enterprises of all types.

In 2005, Charles Mann argued in his book "New Revelations of the America Before Columbus" that many Indians had already found their way to the western continents well before Columbus ever set sail, thanks to a highly developed culture and advanced understanding of the world.

While their history may often be overlooked, the origins of Indian Americans are very diverse. This group hailed from locations such as Kenya, Tanzania, Fiji, Uganda, Jamaica, Canada, the United Kingdom, Guyana and Malaysia, which are all regions in which their populations remain on the rise.

The largest concentration of Indian Americans resides in the United States. These individuals take religion very seriously, played a large role in the history of America, and were present during its discovery.

On the subject of Columbus discovering America some people believe that he didn't and a man called Amerigo Vespucci, who was born on April 9, 1453. He was an Italian by birth and later studied the world maps deeply to become an explorer.

There are many stories about who discovered America and there are few facts. All we know for sure is that America is a young country compared to others but it's short history is an interesting one.
