Description
It all began around 1492 when Giovanni Caboto, an Italian, changed his name to John Cabot and settled in Bristo, England with his wife Mattea and their three sons. John Cabot was an experienced mariner who owned a ship named Mathew. He moved to England because Italy would not support his efforts to explore the New World. In England King Henry VII agreed to support him if he sailed under the British flag. In 1497 Cabot landed on a large island and called it New Found Land and claimed the entire North American Continent in the name of the British Crown. In 1620 the Mayflower arrived at Cape Cod. American Colonies were established with liberty and freedom, including all religious beliefs. - from Amzon
