Cahokia: America’s Forgotten City
Four centuries before Columbus arrived, Indians in Illinois created a city with up to 15,000 inhabitants, more than a hundred earthen mounds, and far-reaching influence. What was this place, and what happened to it?
Being from St. Louis, MO which is like 20 mins from ‘Cahokia Mounds’ historic site I was thrilled to read up on Cahokia as it was hundreds of years ago. If you are interested in history, indigenous cultures, propaganda (Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act of 1830, discussed on page 2 of this article), and anthropology then I recommend you reading this piece.
