John Cabot's Effects on the World
Cabot’s discoveries under the English crown dramatically helped England to get their first colonies in the New World. Cabot’s adventurism and explorations blazed a trail for future explorers to refine maps and discover the true gravity of his and Columbus’s discoveries. These colonies that Cabot helped establish have become modern day America and Canada. Also with the establishment of colonies in the New World, that was made possible by Cabot, Canada and Northern America were Europeanized before other parts of the New World. In his honor, there was a statue erected in Port Bristol of Cabot, holding a map in his hand, looking out to sea. Also, in his home country of Italy, in the city of Rome, there was a college named after him that still provides education today.
By sailing to newly found land in the Americas under the English flag John Cabot solidified his name in history. His discoveries led to the colonization of Canada, Labrador, and Cape Breton Island. Though he did not accomplish his goal of reaching Asia by a northwest sea route he was the first recorded sailor to venture that far north and return.
