Not at all. The United States of America did not exist as such during Henry's reign.

Actually, Columbus discovered the Americas before Henry the VIII was born so there was an America. There just was not the "United States of" America. So his reign did have an impact on the Americas but not much is written about that part of history. He had to try to keep up with Spain and France. Henry's England was not prosperous enough to explore during the time that Spain and France established the Americas. One source said King Henry VIII started establishments on the east coast. However, there is not much information on colonies by England until Elizabeth I.
