Why did Christopher Columbus go to jail?
On the third voyage Columbus discovered Trinidad and touched land at the mouth of the Orinoco, but the revolt of the settlers of the Spanish forced his removal as governor and sent a prisoner to Spain.

After being tried and rehabilitated, he renewed all the privileges , except the colonial power , and embarked on a fourth voyage and forbidden to approach the Spanish , visited the Central American coast of Honduras , Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. He returned to Spain that year and spent the rest of his life trying to get real grants for himself and his descendants, as King Ferdinand tried to cut the privileges granted to the proportions was taking the discovery and the inconvenience of leaving an upstart as sole ruler of India.

Columbus had discovered America fortuitously as a result of intuition and willpower.

Although the Vikings had reached North America about five hundred years earlier had left no permanent establishment or had circulated the news of the discovery, leaving it , therefore , without consequence to the time of Columbus.
