@YAppelbaum No Columbus, Virginia, either - and when Richmond Italian-Americans proposed to raise a statue to Columbus in the 1920s, it was refused a place on Monument Avenue and relegated to a distant park instead. 5/x — PolitiTweet.org

@YAppelbaum In some ways, this is a reversion to the mean. Columbus was not a big hero in early America either: too Spanish, too Catholic. There's no town named for him in Massachusetts eg. 4/x — PolitiTweet.org

@YAppelbaum Columbus began to rise in estimation only in the early republic. King's College NY was renamed for him after the revolution. So was the District of the new US capital. In early 1800s, Joel Barlow aspired to write an American Aeneid based on Columbus. https://t.co/HmtjaeRD0J — PolitiTweet.org
