    Writing a historic fiction pirate novel that involves coastal NC and my research has led me all the way to this very interesting topic!

    Who was in America before the native Americans?
  • @adventureswithmarsh
    You left out the peoples here before the Algonquian, Iroquoian, and Muskogean speakers… The Chicora and Duhare were the people of this land before being lost to waves of European diseases and replaced by these waves of the ones you mentioned. Why cover newcomers and not those who were here for thousands of years? Lawson and Woodward both document the changing of Native Languages in the early 1700s

    Um.. no we did not become Muskogee. This was wildly inaccurate
