John Cabot Research Paper

Christopher Columbus is famously known for the discovery of America. And who is famously known for the following saying" Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492". Christopher Columbus was born in the city of Genoa, Italy. Christopher was supposed to follow his father's footsteps and become a wool weaver. But instead, Columbus became interested in the sea. According to the book by Bonnie Bader, the Genoa port was a busy port on the Mediterranean Sea. Christopher grew up and became a strong and very skilled man, and who also became a map maker along with his brother Bartolome. one day while in the map store Christopher heard about finding new routes from Europe to Easter lands known as the indies. Their goal was to find spices such as pepper, ginger, cloves, cinnamon as well as precious metals such as gold. With this in mind finding a new route to India became his number one goal. But this goal became very hard to achieve due to the fact that King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were not very convinced about Christopher's plan and

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy in 1451 as the son of a merchant, most likely into a Christian household. As a teenager, he worked on a merchant ship and gained experience in trading voyages in the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. He continued similar jobs at sea until his first voyage into the Atlantic Ocean in 1470, when the French attacked his ship along the Portuguese Coast. Despite his sunken ship, Columbus floated to Lisbon, where he married Felipa Perestrello and had a son. At this time, he also began studies in mathematics, astronomy, and navigation, thus inspiring him to begin formulating his world changing plan. After the death of his wife, he moved to Spain, remarried and had another son. Meanwhile, he

The introduction of the spanish discoverers revealed how the native americans’ lives would be changed due to enslavement, forced religion, and the destruction of their homes. If it wasn’t for the story of Marco Polo “visiting” the Indies describing the place as a heaven on earth, the place were incredible riches are stored, where there are villages of gold, then there would never have been an interest in finding a new trade route. Which never would have brought about the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus, it also would have never brought the hardships, tragedy, and utter genocide of the native americans.

John Cabot’s exploration has had a negative impact on my life. His discoveries led to the colonization of the Americas. Colonists came to the Americas and killed natives for land and resources. Natives were frightened to the point of leaving their children in the attempts to escape. This caused the mass extermination of whole groups of people. In North America, descendants of these natives are being treated unequally due to their cultural differences. Additionally, in the United States they are a small minority,

In 1497, King Henry VII granted John Cabot to sail a voyage to find a route to Asia. Our crew consisted of 18 men. We sailed for awhile, with small food rations for each of us. Cabot was barbarous to us. He made us work, while he did not make any such effort to assist us on the ship. He was a dreadful captain and should not have been chosen for the voyage.

What makes a person a hero is their unhabitual nature to inspire others to believe that anyone can do what they want. One such man has earned his way to becoming such a hero: Chris McCandless. Christopher McCandless was a young man who decided to leave his old life, to become Alex Supertramp, and go out to do whatever he saw fit. The controversy around the life and death of Chris McCandless has been highly debated on whether he should be admired as a hero or shamed for being a fool. Chris McCandless has gained the right to be admired for being free-willed, iconic, and brave.

Christopher Columbus was born in the Republic of Genoa, Italy, in 1451, to Domenico Colombo and his mother Susanna Fontanarossa. As a teenager he embarked on his first voyages across the Mediterranean, At one point reaching the island of

For Columbus and Lindbergh it started with a spark of interest from the begining. Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451. Though not much is know about his early life, he did grow up as a seamen and eventually an entrepreneur. He grew fond of the idea of creating a western sea route to China, India and Asia. No direct sea route was to southern Asia at the time nor did anyone know of one.

In 1607 the Muscovy Company in England hired Hudson to find the Northwest Passage from England along the top of Canada to the pacific coast of Asia. But this didn’t go to plan as they were forced back due to pack ice and worsening conditions. But again the Muscovy Company wanted him to find the route to the Indies but this time going to the east, along the top of Russia in 1608. Again this proved unsuccessful forcing him back to Europe. In 1609 Hudson was chosen by the Dutch of The Dutch East Trading Company to find a route to Asia through

American Neoclassical painter, John Trumbull was commissioned in 1824 to paint, “General George Washington Resigning His Commission.” This is the greatest of Trumbull’s many paintings. The painting was placed in 1826.

In 1492, Spanish sailor Christopher Columbus sailed to west of the Pacific Ocean in order to find a direct trade route to India under the sponsorship of the King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. After 2 months at sea, his ships landed in the Bahamas, he and his crew were greeted by the aboriginal population. Noticing that the aboriginals had gold jewelry, he returned to Spain to speak about the treasures of the New World. With his stories of wealth, the King and Queen sent him back to claim the riches in the name of Spain. Coming back to the Bahamas, he burned down the villages, enslaved the aboriginals, forcing them to mine for gold and build settlements for the European travelers. This was the beginning of the perilous relationship between European settlers and Native Americans.

Ahoy land! Giovanni Cabot (John Cabot) was Genoese explorer and navigator who explorered the land of eastern coast of Canada in C.1497 under the patent and permission of King Henry VII. Giovanni was born in the C.1450 and died in C.1500.Cabot was an early merchant with no sailing experience but interest in sailing. In 1484 John got married to a girl named Matteau having 3 children. After much years of being a merchant he finally became a Venetian citizen being born in Genoa, Italy giving him full permission to trade with other countries. According to the text it says,“In 1476, Cabot officially became a Venetian citizen and began conducting trade in the eastern Mediterranean”. This shows how that John received Venetian citenzship allowing him to trade. After many years in 1888 Cabot moved to Spain due

This voyage was unsuccessful because he did not find new trade routes from Europe to Asia. The next year, 1608, Henry went in search of new routes to Asia. Except this time he sailed his ship, Hopewell, over the tip of Russia. He had to turn back and sail home because he ran into thick and heavy ice. In 1609 he again ran into ice for the third time and because of the heavy ice he was determined to sail west to Asia. In July of 1609 Henry and his men found many inhospitable natives. One of Henry’s crew members was killed by them. In the late 1609 Hudson and his crew sailed by the island that is now called Manhattan and into the Hudson River. His last journey was made in April of 1610. He set sail on the ship Discovery. He found a strait in the ocean that led them over Canada, and the strait is now named the Hudson Strait. When they sailed through the strait they came to a big bay which would later be named the Hudson

Christopher Columbus, an Italian, was the son of a wool merchant born in about 1451, he led many voyages across the seas. As a teenager Columbus got a job on an merchant ship, he studied mathematics, astronomy, cartography, and navigation. As he grew up working on ships Columbus gained great knowledge in sea routes, sea currents, and how the world was set up. A monarch from one country would be interested in hiring an explorer from a foreign country because they both wanted to gain the same thing from the voyages and the monarchs need help spreading their religion. The voyages advantaged the common interest of Christopher Columbus, and Spanish monarch, King Ferdinand, and Queen Isabella.

Christopher Columbus is a very well known explorer, especially to Americans. His accidental discovery of the Americas in 1492 led to his achievement of the Three G’s: God, Glory, and Gold. Columbus set sail with the sponsorship of Queen Elizabeth and King Ferdinand of Spain, with the mission to bring wealth to Spain by discovering a simple and easy route to Asia. However, unknowingly he had arrived in the Americas and since he still actually believed he was in Asia he named the Native Americans that he saw, Indies. Columbus’s discovery was a major turning point because the economy dramatically changed as the discovery led to the Columbian Exchange.
