Enlightenment connected to past history

Original Title: The Most Famous Mistake in History

Author: Not Stated

Date and Source: past History, cruise charter.net

Thesis: Christopher Columbus found thought the world was much smaller than it actually is, and him gaining different ideas on how the earth is shaped.

Class Connection: I feel like this connects with the enlightenment's beliefs of theory's being supported by evidence, actual proof, personal experience, and empiricism.

Personal Response: My personal response to this article would be that I think it's good that Christopher Columbus actually decided to actually prove the theory's on the world being another shape
