History

Answer:

They had well established winter villages built on the banks of a major waterway.  Homes were built partially underground. Some were little round houses with dirt roofs.  Some were long lodges. They were both pit-houses.

To build a pit-house, first you dug a pit about six feet deep.  Some pit-houses were built for a small family group and perhaps were only 20 feet in diameter. But some were much larger - as much as 60 feet wide and 100 feet long.  The small ones were usually oval in shape. The large ones were usually rectangular. But construction of all pit-houses started by digging a pit that was the outline of the house.

Once you had dug the pit, next you piled up rocks to make walls. Then you added some wooden posts to support a roof.  Roofs were made of everything from planks to woven reeds. (Baskets and mats were also made out of reeds.)

Has Racism really ended in the United States? Minimum of 2 paragraphs.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: Race and racial inequality have powerfully shaped American history from its beginnings.

Americans like to think of the founding of the American colonies and, later, the United States, as

driven by the quest for freedom – initially, religious liberty and later political and economic

liberty. Yet, from the start, American society was equally founded on brutal forms of

domination, inequality and oppression which involved the absolute denial of freedom for slaves.

This is one of the great paradoxes of American history – how could the ideals of equality and

freedom coexist with slavery? We live with the ramifications of that paradox even today.
