Answer 3

Are you sure, Mrs. Sue? In my Social Studies textbook one passage says: "Along some streams, you will find occasional shoals 7—shallow areas where the river bottom consists of sand or layers of rock. Because they marked convenient places to cross the rivers, shoals frequently attracted settlements. One such community that survives today is North High Shoals, on the Apalachee River."
