The time of European Exploration was a time of inspiration. Of hope. Where people would share their thoughts about exploring and then bam! They were controlling a fleet of ships to sail to Asia! They were all about discovering new land to claim for their own land. It’s wasn’t about them. It was all about their country they weren’t selfish they were finding land for the other people in their country. They were inspiring… and famous but that doesn’t really matter. It’s that they were nice enough to put their lives at risk to help their people. And some of them died but they’ll be remembered forever.  I think. No, they totally will.  They will because they were selfless men and women that almost died to help their country. Like Marco Polo, Cabral, Vasco Da Gama, and many many more! They are heroes. If they  didn’t do what they did we probably wouldn’t be Americans. They helped, didn’t think about themselves, and made us who we are today. Americans!
