Explanation:

Hernando De Soto was known for his American voyages. In one of his expedition to find the land full of golds and riches, he met Native Americans in the present day west Florida where he landed.

Consequently, he moved around the Southern United States that comprises places like present day Georgia, South Carolina and back to Alabama to find these wealth.

He also subdued the natives and took many of their valuable belongings. He was able to achieved this by making himself appeared divine and heavenly.
