The border between the Piedmont region and the Coastal Plain region is known as the fall line. Which of the following best describes the relationship between the fall line and early settlement of Georgia?
A.
Native Americans settled along the fall line because of the abundance in wild game that provided them with food to support their growing population.
B.
Europeans did not settle north of the fall line because the rivers were not navigable north of the fall line.
C.
Early population centers developed along the fall line because the rivers provided a means of transporting goods to the coastal ports, and the fast flowing rivers provided a source of power for grist mills.
D.
Early settlements developed along the fall line because the railroads connected major cities to the ports.

The statement that best describes the relationship between the fall line and early settlement of Georgia is:

C. Early population centers developed along the fall line because the rivers provided a means of transporting goods to the coastal ports, and the fast flowing rivers provided a source of power for grist mills.

This option accurately reflects the significance of the fall line in terms of transportation and the development of early industries.

Which of these is NOT a reason cities developed first along waterways like the Savannah and Chattahoochee Rivers?
A.
Rivers were used for transportation
B.
People used rivers for recreational purposes like swimming and diving
C.
Rivers provided fresh water for drinking and bathing
D.
Rivers provided a food source since people could use them for fishing

The option that is NOT a reason cities developed first along waterways like the Savannah and Chattahoochee Rivers is:

B. People used rivers for recreational purposes like swimming and diving.

While recreational use of rivers is a valid reason for people to appreciate waterways, it is not a primary factor in the early development of cities, which was more focused on transportation, fresh water supply, and food sources.

"The Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site consists of six mounds, three of which are clearly visible: the Great Temple Mound, Lesser Temple Mound, and Mortuary Mound. The Great Temple Mound towered over the community and served as a platform for the home of the priest-chief. Situated between the Great Temple Mound and the Etowah River, the Lesser Temple Mound was originally shaped as a square. Generations of farming softened the edges of the mound, leaving its current, rounded form. The Mortuary Mound is the only mound to have been fully excavated and replaced by a reconstruction. The burial sites and associated artifacts that were discovered within are protected by the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and their welfare governed by the modern-day Muscogee (Creek) people."

Which factor best explains why Native Americans were able to make permanent settlements that included features like the Etowah Mounds?
A.
Native Americans began to cultivate plants for food
B.
Native Americans began to create more complex tools and pottery
C.
Native Americans discovered alternate food sources, such as shellfish
D.
Native Americans wanted to band together in large groups for protection

The factor that best explains why Native Americans were able to make permanent settlements that included features like the Etowah Mounds is:

A. Native Americans began to cultivate plants for food.

The ability to cultivate plants for food allowed for a stable food supply, which in turn enabled the establishment of permanent settlements and the development of complex structures such as mounds for ceremonial and social purposes.
