Peopling the Americas - The Ice Age was responsible for most of the shaping of North America and also contributed to the origins of the continent’s human history. - As the sea level decreased, it made a bridge that linked Eurasia with North America making the locals in Eurasia to migrate downward to North America. - Many other races such as the Incas in Peru, the Mayans, and the Aztecs in Mexico made their way across the bridge migrating. The Earliest Americans - Around 5000 B.C., hunter-gatherers in the highland Mexico made a wild grass that could support many farm necessities such as the staple crop of corn. - The corn was basically their staff of life and the foundation of the complex, large scale for the Aztecans.
Even before its permanent settlement, both Native Americans and French explorers preceded the eventual constancy and relished in the bounty of fresh resources and adequate life. A majority of the land and climate was prime for the most efficient farming
Early Americas best explores of the Rocky Mountains were the fur trappers. These trappers would explore Colorado’s interior in search of beaver pelts. They would interact and trade with trappers and people of different nations. Because of the fur traders that ventured into Colorado they would become the guiding force that helped America expand west and be the leading cause to the decrease of beaver, bison and other large ungulates populations. From reading A Colorado History and the excerpt of Rufus Sages Rocky Mountain Life, I will answer the questions:

When they modified the forest, they created fields to grow food, roads to travel on, houses to live in, and towns for needed goods. Earlier than Columbus, the Western Hemisphere was inhabited with amazing cities and towns. Numerous caves in the mountains were sprayed
In 1492, supported by Spain and tasked with finding a westward route to Asia by sea and negotiate trade agreements, Christopher Columbus discovered the New World. After two more voyages to the New World, Columbus died in 1506 thinking he had discovered a route to Asia. Not until another explorer by the name of Amerigo Vespucci came to South America, did the Europeans discover they had stumbled upon an entirely different continent. Entry 2 Where did the Spanish settle in the New World?
North America was developing into a society built up by many Native American tribes. Native Americans had already inhabited North America for hundreds of years before 1600 when Europeans started to arrive. There was a complex society built on relationships between the tribes. North America was already under the control of a plethora of Native American tribes. This was relatively quick to change after the Europeans started colonizing on the east coast.
It is not like no one lived in America. There was a whole population who had lived in America for a very long time. So if anyone discovered America, it would have been these natives. Also, technically Columbus was not even the first European to discover America. Historians note that it was actually the Vikings who were the first Europeans to land on

America’s Western Expansion started from all the sightings of gold and other precious metals in the west. From the gold rush, people were settling west so that they can strike rich from all the precious metals that was there. Not only that, instead of using animals to travel a long way from their homes, the invention of railroads made travel easier, faster, and
France and England began to colonize the New World. The Europeans started fishing off of the Banks of the coast of the Newfoundland. Giovanni da Verrazano began exploring the Atlantic Coast of North America which is now known as North Carolina up to Maine. After da Verrazano left he sent back information and

In the article “Leif Erikson” , Leif Eriksson, who was the son of Erik the Red, is said to be the first European to set foot in North America. There are stories about how he truly discovered North America but one story says that he sailed off course on his way back to Greenland and ended up below Greenland in North america. Another story is he heard about the fertile land of North America by an icelandic man who had sailed past it years before so Leif thought it would be a good place to land his ship.
