Chapter 1 II. Peopling the Americas The Land Bridge theory. As the Great Ice Age diminished, so did the glaciers over North America. The theory holds that a?Land Bridge?emerged linking Asia & North America across what is now known as the Bering Sea. People were said to have walked across the ?bridge? before the sea level rose and sealed it off; thus populating the Americas. The Land Bridge is said to have occurred an estimated 35,000 years ago. Many peoples Those groups that traversed the bridge spread across North, Central, and South America. Countless tribes emerged with an estimated 2,000 languages. Notably: Incas: Peru, with elaborate network of roads and bridges linking their empire. Mayas: Yucatan Peninsula, with their step pyramids.

Julianne Groshon AP U.S. History ? Chapter 4 - American Life in the Seventeenth Century The Unhealthy Chesapeake Life in the American wilderness was harsh. Diseases like malaria, dysentery, and typhoid killed many. Few people lived to 40 or 50 years. In the early days of colonies, women were so scarce that men fought over all of them. The Chesapeake region had fewer women and a 6:1 male to female ratio is a good guide. Few people knew any grandparents. A third of all brides in one Maryland county were already pregnant before the wedding (scandalous). Virginia, with 59,000 people, became the most populous colony. The Tobacco Economy The Chesapeake was very good for tobacco cultivation.
