The Vikings who first landed in America were led by Leaf Erickson, son of Eric the Red. They landed in the Massachusetts area and started a settlement there. Skralings, or war whoopers, attacked the vikings not long after. Recently, there has been some discussion about whether or not the Colonists were right in taking America as theirs in the Freedom to Speak blog. My view is that God wanted Christians to be in control of America, so he let them take control. The Indians were heathen worshipers who preformed pagan ceremonies. Indians often rode into settlements and massacred settlers. On the other hand, White settlers often did the same to their Indian neighbors. It's safe to say that both sides had their good and bad parties. Neither side was completely right in what they did to one another.
