Theology had shifted dramatically from European thought and become very much American way of thought. Religious thinkers became such masters of Christian theology that thought and moral reasoning played a big part in influencing the course of America.

As authors and co-signers of America’s rudder and backbone the fore fathers indirectly have affected the life of every American. The Christian influence can be noted in correspondence the forefathers wrote to each other.
We looked and looked for a way through, but every time we just hit ice and were forced to turn back. What’s more was the outrageous quality of our ship and supplies. Captain Cook was furious with our suppliers when our ship turned out to be extremely poor quality.

There were a few other reasons why Isabella and Ferdinand were driven to support Columbus and those were their great desire to spread Christianity, as well as compete with Portugal for new sources of wealth. Christopher had a great amount of pressure from the King and Queen to come back with a successful overall journey. They’re expectations had a great toll on him, and added a lot of pressure to be successful on his voyage. After all, these two people were putting their faith into him, to cover their requests of spreading Christianity, and gaining wealth.
