The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in
their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. While the
king, and all in authority under him, were believed to govern in justice

royal family, and all in authority under them, as ministers ordained of
God for their good; but when they saw those powers renouncing all the
principles of authority, and bent upon the destruction of all the
securities of their lives, liberties, and properties, they thought it
their duty to pray for the continental congress and all the thirteen
State congresses, &c.

European powers were running out of places to colonize in africa, while trade in East Asia was becoming more and more profitable, but the cost in time and money of traveling all the way around africa and through the india ocean (or the long trek down the silk road) was hampering European profits off of trading. So the Spanish sent Columbus to find a shorter root to Asia. Columbus didn't set out looking for America, it was just a happy accident.
