Following Washington Irving's myth-filled 1828 biography of Columbus, Americans commonly believed Columbus had difficulty obtaining support for his plan because Europeans thought the Earth was flat. In fact, few at the time of Columbus’s voyage, and virtually no sailors or navigators, believed this.Most agreed that the Earth was a sphere. This had been the general opinion of ancient Greek science, and continued as the standard opinion.
