Alhambra Decree sent the Jews during the time of Isabella of Spain and Ferdinand.

Are you seriously claiming that in the late 15th Century wide scale transportation across the Atlantic was even possible, given the American continent wasn’t even discovered.

Think about that logic there. They had 90 days, but they somehow had to go to the New World no one knew about, and which had only recently discovered.

That is absurd. What actually happened was they went to places like Italy, Dutch lands, and the Ottoman Empire.

I said some went to other places, then there.

Good point.

It was 1492. Columbus began his voyage months later.

No one in Spain knew the New World even existed yet.

This means that the conversos who traveled to the Americas lived for decades and decades as Catholics meaning they were either faithful Catholics or they were sell outs to their Jewish faith who pretended to be Catholics so they could keep their property.
