Think about this explorer’s purpose and relationship to the land he explored and peoples he encountered. Then, explain your personal viewpoint on the following: How does this explorer’s history compare to the history of the colonization of what is now the eastern United States? What are the differences between this explorer’s actions and the colonization of America? Was one more successful than the other? Was one more harmful than the other? Do they pose similar ethical dilemmas? If, due to the peculiarities of your explorer’s history, you cannot answer any of the above questions, then please explain why.
