The archaeological evidence (starting in Greenland) points to the Vikings, followed by the confused Colombus who thought he'd found a better route to India (hence the name Indians for the native inhabitants), then the English.

Okey-dokey, here is the scoop. The Indians (they called themselves the People) came thousands of years ago. There is evidence that Chinese sailors visited the coast of California during several centuries. The Spaniards "discovered" California in 1542. After that, the Mexicans dwelt in California. When Americans first started going to California, they were often jailed and treated as an invading army, even though they were only a few individuals. (That is what we should do to the illegals; do unto them as they have already done to us.)
The English came down from Canada and claimed what is now Washington State and Oregon. That is why the Oregon Trail was instituted: to try to settle Oregon with Americans to keep the British from claiming it.
Get a good history book and read it; it is such a great adventure! (Not the kind used in public schools or colleges...)

The Vikings came to the Americas before the Europeans did. After the Vikings, it was the Spanish. The English came much later.

he sailed america a lot earlier than even columbus.
columbus was a fake. he never even came ...
he got the tales about the americas, while he was in prison, from the tales of other sailors .
but lief erikson was the one, or one of the vikings.
