Report Of The First Voyage By Christopher Columbus

Some historians question whether Columbus, and European conquistadors, like Cortes, conquered the new world ethically and if the destruction of indigenous races to further advance Spain’s territories and influence was morally just.

Due to the lack of money in the english monarchy, the English settlers did not come armed with weapons, horses and other expensive equipment. Which resulted in a different mentality of conquering the land. English radical protestants also joined this voyage to escape from the Anglican repression. Men, women, and children settled in the New World, creating a distinct “civilized” and “savage” differentiation. Another dissimilarity between the Spanish and the English, was that the British never sent missionaries to convert the Indians. “More thoroughly commercial, the English meant to Christianize the indians by first absorbing then as economic subordinates.” (American colonies p. 129)

If someone were to ask you who founded America, who would be your answer? Although many accusations have been thrown around, such as Christopher Columbus, the Vikings, or even Native American civilizations, there is historical evidence to back particularly one of those explorers up.

However, one does not realize the amount of factors that played in the finding and settlement of the Americas. There were a plethora of key developments that took place, whether good or bad that had influenced the success of America’s settlement. Navigation and trade, germs, European rivalries and great powers, Native people, crops, and slavery all became imperative

The most important motive for early European exploration across the Atlantic was the dream of enormous riches. Initially, explorers and merchants hoped to find a sea route across the Atlantic to the thriving markets of Asia. However, Columbus greatly miscalculated the circumference of the earth; thus resulting in the discovery of a completely new world to explore and exploit. Upon arriving in the Americas, the Spanish and Portuguese sought precious metals or land that could be worked for profit, usually by slave labor. For example, the Spanish experience in the Caribbean under the leadership of Columbus was characterized by a search for both natural and human resources, such as gold and slaves (Winn, 2/8). This conquistador mentality that

What is a hero? A quote from Maya Angelou perfectly captures the answer; stating that, “I [Maya Angelou] think that a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people.” Heroes are people who promote change for the better, acting selflessly and ethically to help support the wellbeing of all - regardless of their race, ethnicity, age, gender, or status.

There is no documentation as to when he was born, where he was born, or even to where he was buried.

It is hard to believe that even the Spaniards imagined that one journey in 1492 will change theirs and world’s history so dramatically. The moment that Spanish foot stepped on American soil started years of prosperity and glory for the Spanish empire but at the cost of the destruction of American societies. The encounter with the new world was controversial historical moment that created one united history instead of two world histories. The discovery led many Spaniards to the new world with the intention of settling the lands but eventually this was the start of devastating of cultures, human populations and traditions.
