Who was John Cabot and what did he do?

John Cabot is famous for finding Newfoundland about 511 years ago. Cabots voyage was a step into the unknown abroad an oak-toughened caravel. A brave, little ship of a classic British design. After 53 day travelling at sea, the ship made land. It was an unexpected far east that was found on the voyage. The far East fo the Western World. Cabot's voyage marked the start of the globe-spanning British Empire and made possible, and then inevitable, the European settlement of North America. The last voyage John Cabot went on was his second one and he went with 4 other boats and was never seen again. And neither were the ships... a lot of lives were lost.

Was john Cabot a villain?

John Cabot was actually good because he promised land for the king of England and he did claim Newfoundland for England. I don't know what know-it-all typed in those lies earlier, but he was strict with his crew because they had arguments, but he was not stubborn like Columbus and he was just trying to find a quicker way to India than Columbus for the king of England. He never did anything for himself.
