Amerigo Vespucci wanted to explore because he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his role model and share his fame and fortune.Amerigo Vespucci was very similar and very different than Christopher Columbus, because he was also out for glory and gold just like Columbus.

# data[].attributes.body
he causes of his exploration were looking for gold and glory. He wanted these things because he wanted to be just like christopher columbus. Although neither one of them were correct and were the first to find the americas.

They are also similar because they both thought that they had discovered the americas first, but researches found out that neither one was right. Although he was out for gold and glory the two of them are very different. They are very different because Columbus claimed the land for Spain unlike Vespucci who did not claim any land for his country.

Once Vespucci had arrived in the americas he, had helped develop more navigational techniques. He also discovered and observed the natives to the land. They watched what they did and how they did things and wrote about what they saw and did.

Amerigo Vespucci didn’t really treat them in any way. He sort of just observed their way of living. He was speechless and didn’t have anything to say about them because in one of his entry’s he wrote, “Beyond the fact that they have no church, no religion, and are not idolaters, what more can I say.” His perspective on them is basically saying that he is in awe by the fact that they have no religion like the people in his country. He also seems very negative about their ways based on the fact that he ends with “what more can I say.” He just sounds very disappointed by these people he doesn’t even know.

They didn’t seem to be bothered by him, because he mostly just observed them. He may have wrote things that may have been rude to them but they wouldn’t have known that then. They just sort of put up with him, because they probably knew they had no reasoning to kick him out cause he wasn’t doing anything wrong.

“Beyond the fact that they have no church, no religion, and are not idolaters, what more can I say.” In this quote Amerigo Vespucci is talking about the natives and what their lifestyle is like. He seems to not be very happy by the way they live, because they have no religion or spiritual connection.
