Between Columbus’ trip to America and the Vikings trip the world was undergoing, what is now called The Middle/Dark Ages. Little to no discoveries were made. A matter of fact the only real major discovery was the all water route to Asia around Africa. Though this discovery was made by Portugal and soon all other countries became jealous. In turn Christopher Columbus set out with the sponsorship of Queen Isabel and King Ferdinand to find another route, he chose west.

And so began the discoveries of great things. America was once “discovered” by Columbus and Queen Elizabeth “Virgin Queen” wanted piece of the new found land. She sent out her men to start a colony and the created Roanoke which was later lost, and still remains a mystery. Two groups of people began migrating, Pilgrims and Puritans. The pilgrims wanted to separate from the church and were nicknamed separatist and the puritans wanted to purify the church. Due this Jamestown was established, and soon other colonies due to disagreement with religion.

An example of this would be Anne Hutchinson who left the colony started by the Puritans because she believed you did not have to go to church to be holy.
