Sagot :
Because he came to the shores of America across oceans as a theory., people say that no one had guts to come from Europe to America at that time. So he is considered brave.
If you know, He came to find India or go to India, not only did he find The US but he did find some small islands. If you had the courage to be alone out in the water and not knowing whats going to happen to you is brave!
