columbus colonized the americas. the real discoverer, even before the vikings was amerigo vespucci. i had to do a reasearch paper on him last year.
Amerigo Vespucci was later than both Columbus and Erik the Red, first reaching it in either 1497 or 1499, depending on who you listen to, and did not discover America, though he did discover that it was not in fact Asia, as Columbus had assumed.
The actual "discoverer" of America would have been thousands of years earlier, probably via the Bering Straight (or landbridge, as the case may be)
