If the Horse Had Never Slipped on Ice
If Erik the Red never fell off his horse, he'd have accompanied Leif Ericson to the new world. Then Leif would have never had to return to Greenland to fulfill his filial duties. Furthermore, Erik would have inspired more Vikings to join him in the new world, just as people followed him to Greenland.
Next, have Erik name the new world Treeland, instead of Vinland. A lot more Vikings would have colonized Greenland if it weren't for the shortage of trees. Lastly, have the colonists build some of the finest ships to date, to further emphasis the riches of Treeland.
Okay, so a friend of mine and I were discussing ways America could have been different by the time the age of exploration began at the end of the1400s. One way occurred to me would veto have the Vikings settle permanently in the Aemricas, and develope their own culture here, also interacting with the native americans.
Any way to realistically pull this off?
