Leif Erikson in English kids' textbook

tru but he didn't inspire a massive trade system that united the continents

Because nobody believed him and the island didn't have a lot of gold, something Columbus (not the first European to discover America, even accidentally) did found during his voyages.

he discovered a part of Canada to be exact

I agree

According to my history lesson yes

It's true because a Norse settlement was excavated in Newfoundland, Canada.

Interesting a new fact to remember..

Wait What! HE did?

yes, he did

Yes he did, he called it Vinland pronounced Vineland because it was lush with forests and vines growing up trees

True.

In other words, Vikings discovered America.

This is L'Anse aux Meadows, a (short-lived) colony of Norsemen in North Ameica, in Canada.

That was cool

Thx
