A lot of misinformation regarding Columbus’s supposed achievements came from the first popularized “biography” written by Washington Irving in 1828. You may not recognize Irving’s name but there's a really good chance you’ve heard of one of his other works: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Historians have long since eviscerated his ‘historical’ account of Columbus but the damage was done and the story stuck. So what exactly did Irving get wrong?

Irving's misunderstanding begins when Columbus was trying to finance his initial voyage. Columbus went to every royal who could afford the upfront capital, but like a microwave with a baby setting on Shark Tank, his investment opportunity was turned down every time. While historians have concluded this was due to the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope in 1488, Irving had another theory. He believed Columbus alone knew the Earth was round and everyone else was just stupid

i do knot know this

Answer from: Quest

the topic i chose to write about was " why scuba diving is so popular". the topic is suitable for the audience because it is the easiest to develop and explain, it can be explained in a simpler more conversational manner, it does not require the use of too many technical words, and the final reason for selecting this topic is that it is the one most people can relate to, you might not know too much about scuba diving, but you could probably agree that it is very popular. the purpose of the writing about this topic is to convince more people about the benefits both for the body and the mind that scuba diving can have on a person. it can you keep fit since it requires a lot of energy when swimming underwater; it also you relax because you forget about the world when you are underwater being mesmerized by the underwater world. i would write this paper in the summer, a perfect time to give scuba diving a try if a person has not done it yet.

Henry h. amringe commented in reaction to the 1850 women’s rights convention. women in europe may fill the throne, as reigning monarchs. shall they who are thought worthy of the highest station, in hereditary monarchies, be deemed unworthy of election to office, by the suffrages of a free people? if women, placed in the administration of great and vast national affairs, by the mere accident of birth, have acted wisely, much more might we expect not wisdom only, but integrity in the government of women, selected by free citizens, with a view to mental and moral fitness. short-answer questions where did henry amringe make these comments? what argument does amringe give to support his views?
