Teachers of students in the United States wrote this date on blackboards again and again and asked the children to memorize it with pride and joy: 1492.

They told the children this was when their continent was discovered by human beings. Actually, millions of human beings were already living full and imaginative lives on the continent in 1492. That was simply the year sea pirates began to rob, cheat, and kill them.
