I had an uncle living in America, and he sent two tickets for my father and me to sail across the Atlantic Ocean. The rest of my family stayed in Poland. The plan was that my father and I would earn enough money to eventually bring them to America, too. In Danzig, a city on the shore of the Baltic Sea now known as

Englishmen were not the first people to establish colonies in North America. By the time they arrived, Spanish and French colonizers have already been there. However, the story of those Englishmen is the one that matters because it was them, who founded those thirteen colonies, which would later become the first ones to declare independence from their mother country.

Indeed, in the Preface to Leaves of Grass, Whitman encourages his readers to ‘plunge [their] semitic muscle’ (NAofAL, p.1309) into America in an act of national pro-creation!

Columbus wanted to find treasures and wealth and was determined to visit the believed sources of these resources in Asia by sailing westward. Europe was racked by periodic epidemics ranging from smallpox to swine flu. Towns were in chaos as factions of thieves ran society.
