C Mira Gosslee Mr. Crook History/Columbus Connection 10/14/2015 Christopher Columbus inspired the group (the french group) in many different ways.

In the summer of 1585, Raleigh sent off a group of motivated English settlers to settle in the New World.

The group had one common goal, to establish a settlement across the Gulf of Mexico, as well as spreading the word of God, prosper in wealth, and also receive fame and glory. They traveled westward and eventually landed near present day Tampa Bay, Florida, in the spring of 1528.

The village of Tinwald in Dumfriesshire was where Paterson was born. At the age of seventeen he moved to the Bahamas where he apparently got the inspiration for the ill-fated Darien Scheme. Just prior to the Darien disaster Paterson had moved to London, where he set up the Bank of England to act as the government’s bank, gaining a Royal Charter in 1694. Having failed to find any takers elsewhere Paterson returned to Scotland where he was able to convince the government of the efficacy of his scheme, and founded the Bank of Scotland for good measure. The colony that was founded on the Isthmus of Panama was a comprehensive disaster as survival, and not the intended trading route to the Far East, was the major focus.
