Although agriculture based societies have been around for a long time in history and were pretty much the norm in this time period, their agriculture systems still created a surplus of crops, which allowed for increased populations. Next, both civilizations developed some form of record keeping. The Aztecs created a writing system of pictorial representations. While the Incas never developed a real writing system, they did form a system of colored ropes and knots, “quipu”, to communicate and keep records. These systems were pretty advanced and modern compared to civilization’s prior.

In time, the colonists learned how to live in the wilderness through trial and error and with the help of an English-speaking warrior named Squanto and the Wampanoag Chief, Massasoit. By the 1700s, small cities and towns were established. The colonists slowly developed their own customs and lifestyles. Eventually they began to feel that this new land was now their true home. Life in colonial America centered on the family.
They created a real nation with their own written language. Cherokees even have their own elections. They also have a productive agriculture economy with a working industry. What they also have and created is their own written constitution. That is why the Cherokee should stay on Georgian land.
Canal systems limited flooding and turned the arid plains green, producing agricultural surpluses. 4. The Sumerians needed central authorities to organize maintenance of the canals, and this fostered the development of monarchy. 5. By about 3000 B.C.E., Sumer in Mesopotamia had twelve independent city-states containing populations of twenty thousand or more.

Han writing tells us little about their daily life. Han tombs, however, tell us quite a lot. The Hans buried clay models of their homes and belongings, in their tombs.
Native Americans or American Indians are descendants of the first people to come to North America. They have lived on this land for many years before the White man came to the country. They migrated to all regions of the land and formed into many different tribes or nations. These were people who adapted to the region using natural resources to survive. They were proficient hunters, fisherman, they had grown corn, and they built their homes with animal skins, sun-dried bricks, and lumber depending on what region they live in.
The Indian man was hunter and warrior, while women took care of the children, cultivated and harvested crops, ground grains for making flour and maintained the tents. The main crops of the American Indians were corn, squash and bean, but all the tribes collected forest products. Today there are more than half a million Indians in the United States. They are still trying to cope with adjustment to white civilization. In the United States, they still speak more than 100 different languages.
