In what areas of the Americas were people able to communicate and trade with other peoples in the largest numbers? What was the effect of these exchanges?
What will be an ideal response?
In the Americas, poor communications kept people apart and made it hard for them to exchange wealth and ideas. North America at the time shows cases, deep inland, of peoples struggling with isolation. New ways of life to cope with isolation with the development of towns, irrigation, elaborate ceramics and shellcraft, gold work and copper work, ball games in some cases, and unmistakable signs of statehood—traveled along two routes: from the heartlands of maize in what is now Mexico into the arid lands of the North American Southwest; and from the Gulf of Mexico into the wetlands of the Mississippi valley and parts of what is now the Deep South of the United States. The results included the rise of cultures with unmistakable similarities to predecessors in Mesoamerica.
