God, gold, and glory motivated European nations to explore and create colonies in America. In 1513, Spanish Conquistador Ponce de Leon sailed from Puerto Rico to the Bimini Islands in the Bahamas searching for the fabled Fountain of Youth. He was unsuccessful but became the first European to set foot on current United States soil and explore Florida. Enjoy this HISTORICAL JESUS Extra — The STORY of AMERICA.
