3x-xx-xx ep006 How America Was Named

How America was named. America. Symbol of speech. Problem. The promised land of immigrants. The birthplace of much of the modern machinery, which has freed man from slavery. New York City, to Los Angeles. From New Orleans to San Francisco.

Portland, Seattle. The hum of great cities carries the melody of democracy and America. Now go back to 1507. At the College of Sandy and the Vos Mountains of France, Martin Ballet's similar, a member of the faculty is hard at work.

He is translating Améry Gaudes-Pouche's account of his travels to a strange new world. The account is to go into his new geography. The candle is flickering. It is very late. Yannet Lax. Now I add my name and then...

Dylan Wagon. Ah. Ah, I see the memoirs are finished. Yes, Carl, my work is done. This amoregos, Poussey. Do you believe his story? I think it's true. After all, Columbus was only looking for a new way to India.

Vespoussey discovered a whole new world. Remember, Carl, if it had not been for Columbus, Vespoussey would still be a merchant in Sabil. What do you mean by that, Martin? Columbus purchased some of his supplies from Vespoussey.

That is the first time you ever heard of the new route to India. Then Bespucci became interested and obtained a commission in the Portuguese service and followed Columbus' new route to Asia. But Martin, Amorego Bespucci says he thinks he found a new continent.

Columbus didn't have sent the knowers. Look, I've just finished this map with a new continent, as Amorego has described it. Ah, well, Martin, how do you like it? That's very interesting. I see that the new continent is attached to Asia.
