Doesn't matter who knew about it first.
Vinland was a failed colonization attempt. The Vikings quit.
If anyone else "knew" about North America then they did a piss poor job of claiming it for their own, and publishing the news to mainland Europe and the Middle East that they had discovered another hemisphere.
Columbus and the Spaniards stayed in the Bahamas and made it work. They explored additional islands and went to Central America and stayed.
Columbus deserves the credit. These Communists, faggots and race guilters can try and take away his legacy because "hE wuZ a sLaVeR" but it doesn't fuckin; matter. Columbus and the Spaniards STAYED.
I'm off to watch 1492: Conquest of Paradise, just to spite the "cancel Columbus" crowd.
