Indigenous Crops & American Independence

Service Description

Long before Europeans arrived, Indigenous peoples had already built sophisticated and successful farming systems without draft animals or metal tools. When Europeans arrived, they relied on these Indigenous crops and techniques to survive. By the time of the Revolution, agriculture played a crucial role in the fight for independence by feeding both the Continental Army and the wider population.
