Why Was Giovanni Da Verrazano's Voyage Important?

As we first enter the upper peninsula in Lankton’s text we come to understand how different this part of the world was from the rest of the “world below”. As travelers started moving into the region they became amazed by how unique the land truly was “ Those who traveled through or settled on the Keweenaw Peninsula or Isle Royale were almost universally struck by its remoteness and by how greatly it differed from other places they had lived”(8). As people first start moving into the upper Peninsula they start to understand that along with its beauty and contrast comes a strong and fierce environment. With its long winter 's, deep waters, and unbearable pests it made it extremely difficult for people from the “world below” to move into the region “In 1855, the last supply ship of the year bound for Ontonagon has to cut its voyage short to escape oncoming winter”(12). Not only did the winter 's hold up travel but the severe storms in Lake Superior often lead to death. The

Over the course of the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries, the geography and the environment of the Atlantic Coast impacted the development of the English colonies. These environmental and geographical factors can be separated into two groups: factors that were used to British or colonial advantage and factors that were influential but not specifically manipulated. Regardless of whether or not these factors were exploited, they were crucial to the development of the culture and economy of the colonies on a local and national scale.

I believe that the Vikings were in fact the first to discover America. The key word is “Discover” for the native Americans did not discover America, they just lived there. Also the Vikings were not very creative and named things very obviously, so why would they call the new land Newfound Land, if it was inhabited by people, it wouldn’t be new. The only reason that they don’t get credit for it is because of the things they did like attacking England. They were disliked by just about all countries, so why give them credit for discovering America?

During colonial times, European nations quickly colonized the New World years after Columbus’ so called discovery. England in particular sent out a number of groups to the east coast of the New World to two regions. These areas were the New England and the Chesapeake regions. Later in the late 1700s, these two regions would go though many conflicts to come together as one nation. Yet, way before that would occur; these two areas developed into two distinct societies. These differences affected the colonies socially, economically, and politically.

Even though Columbus was not the first person to step foot in the America’s, he was the first person, from the Eastern Hemisphere, to discover it. For example, when we discover a new species on an island, we may not have known that it existed, but the other living creatures there knew that it did. While Rebecca Dobbs in Document B is right that the Americas were not empty by any stretch of imagination and people lived there and knew about this part of the world, others did not know about it. However, in a letter to Queen Isabelle, Columbus states that they have landed on an island and the people there

The essay discusses from the story “From the general history of Virginia”, by John Smith, a historical narrative is about the landing and the discovery of Virginia in 1607 at a place called Jamestown, this was the first permanent English settlement in the new world, the Americas. Also “From of Plymouth plantation”, by William Bradford, a historical account, is about when 13 years later about 100 settlers went on the big fancy ship called the Mayflower and landed in Massachusetts at a place they named Plymouth. With these two colonies, english settlements in north America were born. They historically had some similarities and also the colonies had differences too.
