While many politicians such argue amongst themselves and cause strife on this Columbus Day trying to make it “Indigenous Peoples Day” which was first proposed at a “United Nations” conference in 1977. Here is something that is often not talked about……
Much of the United States correlates back to ancient Rome because the Founding Fathers were deeply obsessed with the Roman Republic. When designing the new American government and culture in the late 18th century, they deliberately used Rome as their primary blueprint to avoid creating a monarchy like Great Britain or a direct democracy (which they feared would lead to chaos).
Many in early America read ancient Latin fluently. They viewed Roman figures like Cincinnatus (a dictator who willingly gave up absolute power to return to his farm) as the ultimate models of civic virtue. In fact, George Washington was widely hailed as the “American Cincinnatus” when he stepped down from the presidency, and the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, was named in his honor. When Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote The Federalist Papers to persuade the public to ratify the Constitution, they signed them all under the collective Roman pseudonym “Publius,” honoring one of the aristocratic founders of the Roman Republic.
