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.

How would you describe bias and how would you say that bias affects your life
shutvik [7]
Hello!

Bias is simply when a person/group favors or disagrees with a certain thing, person, etc. For example, some news networks can be biased. Some may express favoritism towards a certain political candidate, whereas others broadcast unbiased facts and allow the audience to make its own decision. 

The question above asks about how bias may affect your life. Perhaps some way that bias has impacted your life is the news you watch on television, the magazines you read, or even your friends expressing opinions. Consider some of these options when answering how bias affects you.

I hope this helps you!
