During this period, new societies were being shaped and formed in many different places in the world. Globalization changed societies and influenced them.

The Igbos, who were located in West Africa, did not develop a new type of government similar to the Yoruba and Bini. They had begun to grow small states and urban centers, but the Igbo who had a dense population and extensive trading networks declined to follow. Igbo deliberately rejected the kingship and state-building efforts of their neighbors. The Igbos did not have no kings and they relied on institutions to maintain order beyond the village. They traded among themselves and with the large African kingdom of Songhai for cotton cloth, fish, copper and iron goods, and decorative objects. Next, the Iroquois who were becoming fully agricultural, made maize which is a bean technique that originated in Mesoamerica. Scholars at this time speculated that agriculture was largely seen as women’s work, became the primary economic activity, “warfare replaced successful food getting as the way to male prestige.” A conflict among Iroquois peoples triggered a major political innovation around the fifteenth century: a loose alliance or confederation among five Iroquois-speaking peoples-the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. The deal was called the Great Law of Peace, where the nations had an agreement to get rid of their differences in peace through a confederation council of the clan leaders.

    The experience of the IROQUOIS CONFEDERACY in current-day northern New York provides a clear example of the consequences of the Revolution for American Indians. The Iroquois represented an alliance of six different native groups who had responded to the dramatic changes of the colonial era more successfully than most other Indians in the eastern third of North America. Their political alliance, which had begun to take shape in the 15th- century, even before the arrival of European colonists, was the most durable factor in their persistence in spite of the disastrous changes brought on by European contact.

The document was originally, not a document at all. The Iroquois were bound together by the Great Binding Law (or Great Law of Peace), which was an oral recitation passed down from generation to generation.

    The Mohawk and the Seneca were the first to discuss laws, and passed them to the Oneida and the Cayuga, with final decision by the Onondaga (Keepers of the Council Fire) – confirm if others in agreement, or decide in case of disagreement (Iroquois League). The confederacy was very successful in uniting the nations and creating peace throughout. The peace had lasted for many years but only started to crumble due to population decline and change in their traditional ways. This change in traditional ways was due to the dependence on trade between the English and French. This started conflict between the nations and allowed the Iroquois to become “lazy” and search for easy and more efficient ways to living.

    was by Native Americans around 3,000 years ago. The Iroquois nation ultimately developed into a well-organized cooperative of five different tribes and inhabited the northern mountains from approximately 1300 BC. Eventually large populations of the Iroquois moved south and evolved into what would become the Cherokee nation of the southern Appalachians. By the mid 1500’s, there was random contact with Europeans mostly involving the fur trade. As the Europeans, inhabitants of what were now British colonies, migrated toward less inhabited areas of the continent, it became obvious that an easy route to the frontier was to travel the mountain ranges from north to southwest – from Pennsylvania to the valleys of western North Carolina (Gale).
