History
Early America
By 12,000 years ago, humans lived throughout much of what now are the Americas.
Some used a form of picture writing called hieroglyphics. Nature was important to their spiritual beliefs.
In 1001, Erik’s son, Leif, explored the northeast coast of what now is Canada. Remaining pieces of Norse houses were found in northern Newfoundland.
The most famous explorer was Christopher Columbus. He was Italian, but Queen Isabella of Spain paid for his trips
In 1497, John Cabot, an explorer sailing for England, landed in eastern Canada.
Colonial Period
By 1690, 250,000 people lived in the New World. By 1790, there were 2.5 million people.
In time, the 13 colonies developed within three distinct regions: settlements, the middle colonies and Southern colonies.
