Why is the focus on Columbus Day always on the negative and awful? Why is there so little focus (at least in the assignments we see here) on the reasons for his sailing west from Europe? What was he after, and why?

The focus is negative because Columbus did not discover America. Thousands of people were already here and had been for 10,000 years. To ignore them makes no sense.

Columbus wasn't the first European to come to America. The Vikings beat him by some 500 years. The strong Italian lobby promoted Columbus Day.

The wiki article is a good one -- presents all that info, yes. Thanks, Ms. Sue. It also includes the people who had crossed the Bering Strait and their descendants, as well as mentioning the Vikings in the 11th century.
