What year did John Cabot come to Nova Scotia?

Whether or not John Cabot actually sailed as far as Nova Scotia is something we will never know for sure. Cabot sailed west from England in 1497 to demonstrate that there was a direct route across the Atlantic Ocean to China. The existence of North America and South America was unknown to Europeans at the time. Like Columbus, whose first voyage across the Atlantic had occurred in 1492, Cabot also believed that he had reached Asia. Records do not indicate with any degree of accuracy where it was that Cabot actually landed. It is speculated that it was either some part of the coast of Labrador, Bonaventure (in Newfoundland), or Cape Breton Island. Cabot did indicate that he was aware Newfoundland was an island. In 1498, Cabot embarked upon a second voyage with a fleet of five ships, but never returned, and is generally presumed to have perished at sea.

At what age can a child leave their home with their parents' permission?

The legal age of majority can be from 18-21 depending on the state. Only a few states allow a minor to file for early emancipation and such a petition would not be granted on a "Because I want to.." request. If the situation warrants the minor can be removed from the family home and be deemed a ward of the court, and placed in a foster and/or group home. That would only happen after a complete investigation by DSS and a court hearing, the final decision would be made by the presiding judge.
