Who was the First to discover the North American Continent?
Now some might say that the Indians who were already here were actually the first, which they are in away right. However the first European man to Discover the North American Continent was a man by the name John Cobot another Italian explorer/navigator named Zuan Caboto, who is called in English John Cobot. Nearly 5 years after Columbus had discovered the New World (which he had thought was a part of ASIA) John Cobot under the permission and funds England’s Henry VII, he sailed on a small vessel to the North American Continent. He sailed as far north as Canada and as far south as North Carolina. However after failing to find the riches of ASIA which was the intent of the voyage, the English lost interest and a second voyage was never made.
