Two of the issues that made it difficult for explorers during Columbus's time to explore unknown territory by sea were; inaccuracies of navigational tools made exploration by sea inconsistent and unpredictable and explorers had limited knowledge of the world’s geography.
Further Explanation:
During Columbus's time of exploring the sea was the best way to travel. The governments wanted to explore so they could use the sea for trade routes and commercial operations.
In addition to the answers above, other things that made exploration difficult during this time were;
- early technology used was imprecise such as "dead reckoning"
- the seas were challenging and inconsistent since they were uncharted
- navigators could become lost
- the financial risks were too high if the navigators and ships were lost
When Christopher Columbus did find America it was not intentional, he was actually going to Spain but he did not have the tool or the knowledge to get there and ended up going the wrong direction.

The coastal plain in the South contained large areas of fertile soil.
The Antebellum Period in American history is generally considered to be the period before the civil war and after the War of 1812, although some historians expand it to all the years from the adoption of the Constitution in 1789 to the beginning of the Civil War. It was characterized by the rise of abolition and the gradual polarization of the country between abolitionists and supporters of slavery. During this same time, the country’s economy began shifting in the north to manufacturing as the Industrial Revolution began, while in the south, a cotton boom made plantations the center of the economy. The annexation of new territory and western expansion saw the reinforcement of American individualism and of Manifest Destiny, the idea that Americans and the institutions of the U.S. are morally superior and Americans are morally obligated to spread these institutions.
