how? did you not learn about him at school?
Do you want people to constantly talk about him hundreds of years later, or something? There's nothing to discuss.

The founder of the first permanent settlement in America is also not nearly as well remembered as the other early settlers cuz he had the most generic name possible, John Smith

I think it was just an accident that the first mapmaker of the New World decided to name it after Amerigo and it stuck, so even shortly after his lifetime he probably wasn't well known or discussed.

aschtually, Vespucci wrote letters to Europe which were published back then. He became so popular that people thought it was Vespucci who discovered America. Trust me, I read it on wikipedia yesterday.

American teachers teach everything but the things they're supposed to teach.

Vespucci was the first man to realize the newly discovered american landmass was a new continent and not Asia

Are you forgetting who was here first? It should be called Greater Indiana.
