History Of The Mesoamericans
When the Mesoamericans reached Americas, they just didn’t bring themselves or families; they brought some tools with them to help evolve where they where they were going to be living at. When they had came they used many different things to make their houses or make wine or anything that they needed. For example in document 1 it says that they used a plant to make fences and to also use as firewood. They had made a lot of uses for that plant. There was Wars going on as well, so they had to make something for protection. For example in document 2 they said to get the armor and spears ready so they could go fight. This was also the Mayan Battle song. This song would give the soldiers courage to go fight.

    In North America many native cultures had lived and thrived across the continent. Meanwhile, in Europe, the thirst for knowledge and discovery had led to a competition among European nations to establish and dominate trade routes to acquire the exotic resources of Asia. Each country began to finance voyages of exploration to see who could find a quick and profitable trade route. Spain, England, the Netherlands and France began to travel west, across the Atlantic, to places that were unknown, at that time, to Europeans. Unaware of how large the world actually was and equipped with basic and inaccurate maps, many decades passed before any of these early travelers realized that they were not traveling to Asia, but actually had stumbled upon a land previously unknown to them. However, these lands were well known to their native inhabitants. By the time Africans and Europeans came to the Western Hemisphere, most peoples of the Caribbean and the coastal mainland lived in sedentary villages or semi-permanent encampments. They had organized themselves into clusters of families and hierarchical communities that were recognizable to Europeans, and they identified among themselves leaders, servants, and specialists of many kinds, "American Indian society had not been static before it came into contact and conflict with Europeans. The native people hunted, gathered, and grew an array of foods that nourished millions of people. In short the Americas were not an empty land when the Europeans arrived. "(HBG 1) " Indigenous North…
