Although many negative things can be said about Christopher Columbus, it was his imagination and courage that by accident led Europeans into the Western Hemisphere. Whether Erick the Red " discovered" the New World first does not really matter as his voyages did little to have Europeans colonize the "New World".
Columbus Circle is named after Christopher Columbus! The City of New York made it a project for the 400th anniversary of Columbus's voyage, hiring traffic planners, architects, and artists to design the circle. In the middle is a column with a statue of Christopher Columbus, created by Italian sculptor Gaetano Russo. Thousands of Italian-Americans raised money to pay for this tribute to their countryman. Over the years, New York has grown and changed around the circle, but it is just as beautiful as ever.
Columbus NEVER landed in North America. He didn't know it existed. He landed in the Bahamas. In the late 1700's the Italian American's began the story that Columbus landed in America so they could get a special day and parade like the Irish American's for St. Patrick's day. Columbus was not Italian, but Spanish. This is how history is changed.

Although they both play important roles in history, Christopher Columbus is more important because he "found" the land that George Washington was born and lived in. He also changed the way in which the world was viewed in his lifetime. As far as the history of the US, George Washington is much more directly famous.
