They were called the Eastern Woodland Indians because they lived in the forest. Their all shelters, weapons, cloths and more were all what the forest provided.
This website says that they lived in structures called longhouses.
-Longhouses were long rectangular homes. Longhouses were made by building a frame from saplings, or young trees. They were then covered with bark sewn together. There was a long hallway with rooms on both sides. Sleeping platforms, covered with deerskin, lined each wall. There were also shelves for storing baskets, pots, and pelts. Pelts are the skins of animals with the fur attached. Several families would live in the long house, but the families were related to each other.-
Slavery developed in the American colonies in the mid-1600s due to the economy of the South depending on the cultivation of crops; the need for agricultural labor led to the establishment of slavery.
The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states.
