Question

Why didn't thousands of Europeans settle over here in the years after Lief Ericsson's colony as they later did Columbus'?

Answer 1

Explanation:

One possible explanation that is often given is that they may have felt too small to sustain a settlement. Another possibility that is given is that they may have been driven during the time by American Indians.

Remember, it was the Italian explorer and navigator Christopher Columbus's fascination that he had found what he called a New World that later led to the settlement of the Europeans.
