Interesting, there's a theory that the owner of John Cabot's ship (Matthew), Richard Ab Merike is the reason why the continent is called America. I personally think that's more likely than Vespucci - as it's not called Vespucci or anything similar.
John Cabot discovered what we call today America and Canada. Not Columbus. Columbus landed on mainland south America and went south. Columbus was not a sailer ,while John Cabot was.
Columbus landed in the Caribbean, not South America. He landed in present day Bahamas to be exact. He also discovered the western hemisphere(1492) before John Cabot(1497).
@@ernestoperezviyella8269 yep and Cabot landed in Newfondland, my birth home, which has never laid claim toa anything like brig he birth place of anything. We did celebrate the 500 year anniversary in 1997 through and do claim St John's (not so far from the landing a Bonavista) to be the oldest city in North America.
@@ernestoperezviyella8269 Umm yeah but Columbus did not step American Continent until 1498 in South America, so Cabot was tecnically the first modern navegator to arrive in "America",the problem is that it is believed that Cabot set sail on Columbus's voyages, but eh, possibly Columbus also copied himself from some Portuguese navigator.
East coast of Canada and wht is now called Newfoundland? Seriously? Newfoundland was called 'New Found Land 'after Cabot landed there and only joined Canada in 1949. Before that it was a UK colony.
@@UnDeadArmy935 No serious historian believes anything on that letter. The letter is basically a random british guy with no provable relation to Cabotto saying: Yo, Columbus, do you know that place you found? we brits found it first. I have proof I just don't really, want to show it to you nor give any kind of specific information that's not actually widely know by know thanks to your travels other than there were trees and grass and fishes. We forgot about bringing any kind of proof, animal, plant or anything really even if that would be extremely easy to bring. we were in a bit of a hurry you know? Just trust me bro! we did it first!! Anyway, take care Cristopher!
Erickson was around 500 years prior, not 1500.
You're the reason why I'm going to get an A+ in history.
Cabots still heavily celebrated where I'm from in Bristol, UK. There's roads, pubs, a tower and main shopping centre all named after him.
this should get more likes and views man :(
Hopefully it’s just a matter of time! Thanks for watching.
@@InnovativeHistory Hearing you say Cabot sailed 1500 years after Leif Erikson REALLY put me off. No like for you.
It helped me a lot 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻
Nice😅

this should have more likes and views, you deserve it! but do you know how Cabot’s exploration affected the country boundaries?
Maybe Caboto settled down somewhere in Canada and just lived out the rest of his life with whatever he had in anonimity......
And die like all others early north east north america settlers.. Dont be stupido.
Your comment about Vikings finding America 1500 years before Cabot are incorrect by 500 years
Thanks.
He's the reason why the US is an English speaking country

There is not single contemporary evidence that this ever happened.
No, there are a John’s day letter
