@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 6/x — PolitiTweet.org
