When English and Scottish settlers first arrived in what was to become the United States, they encountered literally thousands of abandoned earthen and shell mounds that seemed not to be associated with occupied Indian villages. Typically, the new arrivals assumed that the “savages” were intellectually incapable of carrying out major public works. Therefore, they speculated that Europeans or advanced societies from the Middle East had once lived in the New World until they were exterminated by the Indians. It would not be for another 200 years that the public would become generally aware that about 90-95% of the societies who built those mounds had died of diseases or had been enslaved in the decades following Spanish exploration of the region.

Some tribes in the Lower Mississippi Valley were still occupying mounds when French settlers arrived, so there was no French speculation about the origin of abandoned mounds. The best known of these last mound builders were the Natchez. They also stopped building mounds after the 1720s.

Which territory has never experienced U.S. occupation?
adoni [48]

Answer:

Option: Jamaica

Explanation:

After the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus Jamaica, in the beginning, became part of the Spanish Empire which later shifted to British under the Treaty of Madrid. Jamaica became a British Colony from 1707 until 1962. Jamaica remains a member of the Commonwealth and recognizes Queen Elizabeth II as monarch and head of state. Therefore Jamaica has never experienced U.S. occupation.
