Season 4: The New Old South

Before the Age of Exploration the Mississippian Chiefdoms in North America vied for influence, cultivated vast stretches of land, created Hierarchies and elevated their leaders to sem-divine figures honored with massive earthen mounds. The Chiefdoms of Etowah and Coosa in modern day North-Western Georgia, had influence and reputation from the gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, and are a source of pride for the Muskogean peoples today.
