dec 1, 999 - Cahokia
Description:
The civilization of Cahokia coalesces along the Mississippi River. This culture is strictly hierarchical and warlike, organized into subordinate clans. It declines due to internal warfare, climate change, and over-cultivation of the land. Cahokia was the heart of a massive trade network spanning the Mississippi River system. It was home to over a hundred thousand at its peak.
