Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Today, it may be hard to find the heritage of the millions of original Americans who populated North and South America. Mostly, this is because huge numbers of those Native Americans were conquered and killed, either by new diseases or European guns. Cultural ignorance and a self-centered worldview allowed the white settlers to dismiss the Native Americans as "savages."
We now know a lot more about three major empires: the Maya, Aztec and Inca civilizations. These people built large cities to live in and giant temples to worship their gods. They didn't live in paradise; owning slaves was common in Mesoamerica. But they also demonstrated lots of practical knowledge, from astronomy to farming techniques to medicines. These were the original Americans.
Which of these is true of Mesoamerica?
A A single empire ruled for thousands of years. B Three major empires ruled. C Slavery was never legal D There was no farming.
Answer:
B. Three major empires ruled.
Explanation:
Mesoamerica is the region formed by southern Mexico and the territories of Guatemala, El Salvador and Belize. This territory was populated by pre-Columbian civilizations that established great empires. Although America had many of these empires, Mesoamerica featured three, which can also be considered great pre-Columbian civilizations. These civilizations were the Aztecs, the Mayans and the Incas.
