Giovanni da Verrazzano encountered Native Indians on his journey up through the Carolina coastline. He believed that he had found new land, but the Indians had already lived there for years. Giovanni was so obsessed with finding new land that he and his crew killed many of the Indians for their land and convinced them that they needed to move west, so no more killing would occur. The Indians had to move far west to be safe from Giovanni da Verrazzano and his conquerors. The Indians were always on watch for the conquerors so no more of them had to die for land. The Indians were very nomadic instead of continuing to settle on the land that was theirs.
In 1528, Giovanni da Verrazzano explored present day Florida, the Bahamas and the Lesser Antilles. However, at a stop near the island of Guadeloupe, Verrazzano decided to explore the island on his own and was killed and eaten by the natives of the island.
