<span>Answer: Toltec Mounds is one of the largest archaeological sites in the Mississippi River valley. The site encompasses about 100 acres and originally included 18 total mounds. We do not know what the Native people called themselves, as they did not have a form of writing. The people seem to have left the area around 1050 A.D. and although we do not know exactly why they built the mounds, they did leave some clues behind.
The mounds were built in a large rectangle shape, known as the ceremonial plaza. Although many of the mounds didn’t survive to our modern time, the ones remaining are quite massive. As we approached the largest mound, Mound A, our guide pointed out that it sits at 49 feet tall. In our times, that may not seem to be much, but they didn’t live in a time with tractors and a backhoe. All the dirt that was relocated was done by hand and possibly a bowl. It would take a great deal of time and effort to form just one mound, let alone 18.

Answer: To demand a repeal of the Tea Act
Explanation:
Though the Second Continental Congress managed to set the foundation of what would later become the Federal Government, the demand to repel the Tea Act and the rest of the Intolerable Acts sanctioned by Britain was adressed on the First Continental Congress on September, 1774. On the First Continental Congress, the colonists also pleaded with King George III explaining their issues with the Acts imposed on them, commiting to reuniting again shall their demands not be met. Since the King dismissed their plea, the Second Continental Congress took place on May, 1775.
