Exploration
Share your thoughts and opinions on the exploration that took place in the new world. Which explorer do you think had the greatest impact on exploration? Why? How do you think this explorer and the people accompanying him treated the people they discovered or conquered?
I think that Coronada had the greatest impact on exploration because he actually took a while looking around america and found more information on america than the other explorer. the other explorers just went around doing things that weren't as productive. I think that it was unkind of him to enslave some of the native Americans but at least he did not slaughter them like some of the explorers did to the people they found.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Coronado had a great impact on exploration. I thought it was cool that he explored the Southwest United States. He even explored TEXAS!!

ReplyDeleteI think that Christopher Columbus was the most important explorer because his journies was what got others to explore the ocean going west. Without his knolwedge of information he brought back to Spain many other explorers might not hav ventured out there.
ReplyDeleteI do not like the way he treated th natives. Bringing them back as slaves was not the right thing to do.
You are right Jessica! After Columbus' first voyage, exploration exploded! People became extremely curious about what could be found in unexplored areas of the world. Kings & queens sent out explorers to explore new lands and bring back treasures they found or were given from natives in the land. They even had the explorers conquer the new land and claim it for their country.
ReplyDeleteI think that Christopher Columbus is one of the most important explorers. I think he is important because he was the first successful explorer of the new world. I know that at least one explorer discovered america before Columbus did, but he didn't colonize with success. If it weren't for Columbus, we might not be here today.

ReplyDeleteI believe that Vasco Balboa was one of the greatest explorers because he helped discover central America and the south sea.

ReplyDeleteDaniel Yates: I believe that Christopher Columbus was one of the greatest explorers, because he discovered America.
ReplyDeleteI think that the greatest was Magellan. Because he founded that strait, he opened up a new door for later explorers to go through, so they could also go around the world, and get to places quicker.
ReplyDeleteHe treated natives good and bad. Some he treated kindly, and others, he treated badly and tried to go to war with them! Because of that, he got killed in battle, and didn't make it home.
I think that Christopher Columbus was a great explorer because he found america. The thing i don't like about him is that he did not even explore what he found he just was like "whatever, wheres the gold at". recent study's show that Christopher Columbus did not only take some native Americans as slaves but killed them and did many other bad things to them. I looked at a website that had some of the things he wrote on it, and it said that he said the first thing he did when he got to one of the islands that america owns he immediately took captives and forced them to tell him where he could find valuables. Christopher Columbus found america but he was obviously not a good person.
ReplyDeleteI think Magellan had the biggest impact on exploration. He was the first explorer to set sail around the world. This opened up routes for other explorers to go through. He treated the natives kindly.
ReplyDeleteThis is a test. I am checking to see if there is a problem.
ReplyDeleteErika Kertz: I think Christopher Columbus had the greatest impact on exploration because of all the info he brought back to Spain, which sparked the interest of many other explores.
ReplyDeleteLara Tanner: I think Christopher Columbus made the greatest impact and was the greatest explorer because he found America, brought exploration to the world, and brought riches back to Europe.
ReplyDeleteAlison Gibson: I believe that Magellan had the greatest impact on the exploration and trading because he traveled all the way around the world and created new path ways for other explorers. he also found the strait of Magellan which went through South America. He treated the people very friendly when he went to the Islands tried to teach them Christianity and even died trying to teach Christianity. He also brought back riches, new ideas and maps to Spain. he had a great impact.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alison and Katherine
ReplyDeleteI believe that Christopher Columbus made the greatest impact because he journeyed through a perilous ocean and he was a cunning man and very amiable to the Native American Indians.
ReplyDeleteI think that Christopher Columbus had the greatest impact because he journeyed through the perilous ocean trusting in God that he would reach land. Columbus was a very cunning man. And also, he was amiable to the Native American Indians.
ReplyDeleteI, also think that christopher columbus had the greatest impact because he found america... without him we probably would not be hear... and also if america was founded by someone else after 1492 we would be behind on knowledge of the new world. Its a good that he found it when he did.
