About This Mod

For millennia, the lands that would later become known as the eastern United States were home to a variety of indigenous peoples. They settled near rivers, using them for transportation and trade. The well-known Mississippian culture, named for its geographical distribution in the Mississippi River Valley and its tributaries, began around 900 AD. It gradually spread west, reaching Oklahoma, northward to the suburbs of present-day St. Louis, Missouri, southwestern Illinois, and eastward to the southeastern forests, as far as present-day North Carolina and southward to present-day Mississippi.


The Angel Mounds National Historic Landmark exemplifies the Mississippian culture. It covers an area of more than 600 acres (240 hectares), located about 8 miles (13 km) southeast of present-day Evansville, in Vanderburg and Warrick counties, Indiana. A large settlement, including residential buildings and farmland, was built and settled between 1100 and 1450 CE, being the political, cultural and economic center of the Angel chiefdom. Its influence extended 120 miles (190 km) from the Ohio River Valley to the Green River in what is now Kentucky. During its heyday, the city's population reached 10,000 people living inside its walls. The city included a complex of thirteen earth mounds, hundreds of residential plots, palisade (palisade) and other buildings.


The Mississippi left Angel long before the arrival of Europeans. The exact causes of the decline of the Angel civilization are unknown. Researchers speculate that this may have been due to environmental factors, such as prolonged drought in the region. It has reduced maize (maize) yields and the natural resources available, which previously contributed to high population densities. In addition, people could overhunt and deforestation, consuming wood for building and heating.
