Much of the time shelter was similar to a wigwam. Sticks laid to make a circular hut which was then covered with hides or materials such as brush, cattails, hay, etc. Tents were simply a more portable and temporary version. Winter encampments had better structures. This was where people spent the cold weather and were built to withstand it. You could find pit houses. Caves big enough to shelter a number of people were relatively rare. More often was the rock shelter. This had South facing exposure and an overhang of rock. One excavated French site showed that logs were piled against the rock and then covered. The covering was hides as many anchor stores were found along where the logs were. The inside was covered with seaweed. Communal living was common. You could pool resources and labor to build it and having multiple people in the same shelter provided additional heat. <span>Remember that people didn't have the central heated, storm proof housing we enjoy. They were more acclimatized to cold weather and what we today think of as harsh conditions.</span>

In entering into civil society, people sacrifice the physical freedom of being able to do whatever they please, but they gain the civil freedom of being able to think and act rationally and morally. Rousseau believes that only by entering into the social contract can we become fully human.
<u>Thoughts I have as a free man:</u>
Years of oppression are over and finally I am a free man. For the first time in all these years in this country I feel optimistic about my future. I was forcibly taken away from my homeland at a very young age and brought to this country.
I have worked day and night on the fields of this country. Never was my work regarded or never was I treated with respect. Now I believe I will be treated with respect like every other American.
Now this is my home too. I believe I too am part of this land, the land where I have toiled for years. Now that slavery is abolished and we are granted citizenship I know that I as well as my future generations can live on this land as free people with dignity.
