Life in the Late 1700s
In the late 1700s, many people lived in different types of homes. Some Native Americans lived in wigwams, which are made of tree branches and animal skins. Others settled in areas like Kentucky. This was a time when many new settlers were coming to the United States to find land and start families. However, not everyone got along. There were battles, like the Battle of Long Run, which was a conflict between some settlers and Native Americans.
