The English sent their first explorer, John Cabot, on a voyage of discovery across the Atlantic Ocean in 1497, just five years after Columbus's 1492 voyage. Cabot's expedition marked England's entry into the era of transatlantic exploration.
Christopher Columbus's occupation before he went on his first voyage was as a business agent for two important families in Genoa.
Fray Bartolome de Las Casas sailed with Columbus on Columbus's third voyage, 1498-1500. Las Casas had probably met Columbus before the famous 1492 voyage because Las Casas's father sailed with Columbus to the New World (Las Casas would have been about nine years old in 1492). During his own voyage with the captain, Las Casas saw both Columbus the explorer and Columbus the governor. Las Casas had high praise for Columbus the explorer because of the sailor's efforts to bring Christianity to the Native Americans. For Columbus the governor, however, Las Casas had a much different view. Las Casas was shocked by the atrocities against the Indians which were allowed by Columbus.
Columbus first voyage
Christopher Columbus died probably before he went on this voyage.
