Section 1: Europeans Set Sail

Viking Sailors Reach North America

The Vikingswere the first Europeans to make contact with North America. They came

from Scandinavia, a peninsula that includes the present­day countries of Denmark,

Norway, and Sweden. The Vikings were skilled sailors who developed a new style of

ship, called the longship, that curved up at both ends. Viking vessels traveled the rough

North Atlantic seas better than earlier Ships because their designs were more stable.

The Vikings raided countries throughout Europe, but they also developed large trading

networks. Viking ships sailed to the British Isles and the Mediterranean and Black seas.

Eventually, the Vikings sailed west into the North Atlantic. There they founded a

settlement on the Island of Icelandin about 874. More than 100 years later, Viking Erik

the Redleft Iceland to settle Greenland.

Leif Eriksson, the son of Erik the Red, shared his father's love of adventure. In the

year 1000, he was sailing from west Norway to Greenland when strong winds blew his

ship off course and carried his ship all the way to the North American coast.

Eriksson and his crew landed on the Labrador Peninsula in present­day Canada. The

Vikings then sailed further south to the island of Newfoundland, and perhaps to what is

now New England. According to their myths, Vikings saw forests, meadows, and rivers

that held "larger salmon then they had ever seen."

Eriksson settled in a coastal area he called Vinland, but the Vikings left after only

a few years. Attacks by Native Americans posed a constant threat, and the area may

have been too far from other Viking settlements to be supported.

After the Vikings left North America, Europeans did not return to the continent for

centuries. In the 1400s, however, a growing interest in discovery and exploration

spread across Europe.

Prince Henry the Navigator

In the early 1400s Portugalbecame a leader in world exploration. One man in

particular, Prince Henry the Navigator, was responsible of advances that would make

exploration more successful. Although he never set out on a voyage himself, Henry

greatly advanced Portugal’s exploration efforts.

In the early 1400’s, Prince Henry built an observatory and founded a school of

navigation to teach better methods of sailing. He also financed research by mapmakers

and shipbuilders. Finally, he paid for exhibitions to explore the west coast of Africa.

Which text in this excerpt from Twenty Years at Hull House by Jane Addams demonstrates the lack of concern for poor immigrant communities that was frequently shown by politicians and others with influence?

[-One of the striking features of our neighborhood twenty years ago, and one to which we never became reconciled, was the presence of huge wooden garbage boxes-] fastened to the street pavement in which the undisturbed refuse accumulated day by day. The system of garbage collecting was inadequate throughout the city, but it became the greatest menace in a ward such as ours, where the normal amount of waste was much increased by the decayed fruit and vegetables discarded by the Italian and Greek fruit peddlers, and by the residuum left over from the piles of filthy rags which were fished out of the city dumps and brought to the homes of the rag pickers for further sorting and washing...



[-It is easy for even the most conscientious citizen of Chicago to forget the foul smells of the stockyards and the garbage dumps-], when he is living so far from them that he is only occasionally made conscious of their existence, but the residents of a Settlement are perforce constantly surrounded by them. During our first three years on Halsted Street, we had established a small incinerator at Hull-House, and [-we had many times reported the untoward conditions of the ward to the city hall.-] We had also arranged many talks for the immigrants, pointing out that although a woman may sweep her own doorway in her native village and allow the reuse to innocently decay in the open air and sunshine, [-in a crowded city quarter, if the garbage is not properly collected and destroyed, a tenement-house mother may see her children sicken and die-], and that the immigrants must therefore not only keep their own houses clean, but must also help the authorities to keep the city clean.
