i need to know some of leif erikssons failures
Answered by Ms. Sue
What do you consider a failure? He certainly accomplished more in his lifetime than most of us ever dream of doing.
Answered by Damon
Well, he failed to establish a permanent presence in North America and he and the other Vikings who followed him made enemies of the natives so that a permanent establishment probably would have required an army (or smallpox or measles to eliminate the locals).
I am not sure he would consider this a failure though. Was he trying to settle America? I think he was just harvesting some timber and foods to take back to Iceland and Greenland. To us now it looks like he had a chance to found Canada and the US. However I am not sure he or the other Vikings were interested in doing that, although they did settle in Iceland, Greenland (for a while) and Russia.

Answered by Ms. Sue
I doubt if there's any documentation as to what he wanted to do.
