What protected Mississippian villages from their enemies?

Mississippian villages were often protected by strategic geographic locations, such as being situated on elevated ground or near rivers, which made them less accessible to enemies. They also constructed defensive structures, including palisades made of wooden stockades, to fortify their settlements. Additionally, the communities often formed alliances and coordinated defenses among neighboring villages to enhance their security against potential threats.


What Native American tribes were indigenous to the prairie?

What was family life like in the northern colonies in the 1600?

The average family in the northern colonies in 1600 was likely a Puritan family. The puritans believed in strict rules and literal interpretation of the Bible. They believed that women should remain silent in church. Also, if a child made a noise or moved during service, they would be taken out and whipped by one of the non-preaching ministers. As a punishment for adults if they fell asleep or seemed distracted, they had stockades which they would stay in for a while. The average family likely had a strict and dominant husband. The husband would have worked, the wife would have cooked and spun wool. The child would help a certain parent gender accordingly. This was early in the history of the colonies, so there were no real jobs, just working for the good of the community. It wasn't until the 1700's that things changed in that manner.
