My point was that you have to traverse a lot of North America to get to TN and the Mid West. Doesn't make sense that they bypassed the East Coast to build settlements a thousand miles inland.

The natural currents/winds flow south past the Canary Islands and dump into South America or The Gulf Of Mexico. Remember that Columbus 'bumped' into the Carribean Islands...a few times.

Perhaps the east coast native americans were holding out for two bags of beads and Madoc was just simply not willing to pay that much...
