I'm too lazy to research.

Didn't white Americans come from England? But Christopher Columbus came from Spain, right? I'm confused.

Please don't give me an encyclopedic answer. One to two paragraphs will do.

Thanks!

On the west coast the Spanish took hold. Down in the south-east, the Spanish and the French. The Dutch, English, French, and various others had trading and fishing set up in Canada and on the East coast before Jamestown/Plymouth and the like were established. The Vikings were there years earlier on expeditions.

That is incorrect on Christoper Columbus had actually came from The republic of Genoa which Northwest of Italy,he died on 1451 he was a son of a weaver and first came to sea when he was a teenager. In addition if your interested in his faith, he was a Catholic-Christian. If you want more info on him Please PM me. Moreover I am quite occupied with the July 4th I am going to a home school reunion. God Bless!
