@ArishMell there was no country of United states of america. There was still the north american continent.
Im refering to europeans in general because most colonists were european and im asuming the person who made this post is from a north american country and canada, usa and mexico were created from european colonization so our national ancestors at that time period would be european.
Im generalizing again in the next paragraph to be short then make a similarity comparison to modern societies because people are still people with personalities. That doesnt really change, just society and technology changes.
So i think people were still the same as they are today in that time period we just had a different way of going about it due to our level of technology and experience with maintaining civilization.

@GuyWithOpinions Fair point, though there were no Europeans on either continent in the 11C.

@ArishMell ok sure. Europeans werent called European yet. But the continent was still there. I guess it would be like briton, gaul and rome.

It depends on the part of the Continent you're talking about. Some of them were princesses.

Undiscovered by the Europeans until the late 16th/early 17th Century.
According to history books the earliest colonies in the Americas (then known as the "New World") began around the late 1490's.
Independently of one-another there were many indigeneous lands in the "New World" which were colonized by the English, French and Spanish.
The earliest of which being the Spanish conquest on South America in 1492, under the leadership of Christopher Colombus.
The French colony known as New France (which is Present-day Quebec) in 1534 under the leadership of Jacques Cartier.
As well as the first North American English colony known as Jamestown in 1607, named after King James the 1st.

There were no American women then
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@CurrentName There were.... Only they did not call themselves "American" and were not European settlers / descendant of settlers.
CurrentName · 51-55, M
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@CurrentName No - I said that! They were of the continents we call the "Americas" but they didn't coin that name for their land and themselves.
