- Why was there so many differences in the types of settlement in North America? How did the Mississippian and Hopewell cultures foster trade and connections between different groups? Why do you think the mound-building culture came to dominate the southeast?
Introduction
In North America there were many different kinds of settlements for a variety of reasons. The most common type of settlements were the hunter-gatherer type settlements that were nomadic, moving from place to place instead of settling permanently. There were very few farming communities because the weather was unpredictable and they wouldn’t be able to move if they had to. The Mississippian and Hopewell cultures fostered trade and connections between different groups by trading between themselves and other groups through trade routes. These cultures dominated the southeast because they took advantage of the resources in the land, such as hunting and fishing, and built permanent houses on mounds so they could stay warm in winter months when temperatures dropped below freezing levels (as well as cool off during summer months when temperatures rose above 100 degrees Fahrenheit).

North America is a very diverse continent with many different types of settlements. The most common type of settlement was hunter-gatherer type settlements, which consisted of small groups traveling from place to place in search of food and other resources. These groups were usually made up of families and did not have permanent homes or villages. Farming communities were the second most common type of settlement, but they were also called farming communities because they grew crops like corn and beans on their farms instead of hunting for food like the hunter-gatherers did.
There were very few nomadic settlements in North America at this time period; these people moved around constantly looking for new places to live or food sources so they could survive long enough to reproduce again after their deaths (this would happen later through reproduction).
The Mississippian culture fostered trade between different groups throughout their territory by building large mounds that acted as markets where people could trade goods such as pots made from clay called “earthenware” which was popular during this time period due its durability against fire damage (which would occur frequently due how often campfires burned down homes).
