Chunkey is a game originating in the historic site near what modern-day city?
Cahokia The Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site (11 MS 2) is the site of a pre-Columbian Native American city ( 600–1400 CE) directly across the Mississippi River from modern St. Louis, Missouri. This historic park lies in southern Illinois between East St. Louis and Collinsville. The park covers 2200 acre , or about 3.5 sqmi , and contains about 80 mounds, but the ancient city was much larger. In its heyday, Cahokia covered about 6 sqmi and included about 120 human-made earthen mounds in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and functions.
History of New York City (1665–1783) The history of New York City (1665–1783) began with the establishment of English rule over Dutch New Amsterdam and New Netherland. As the newly renamed City of New York and surrounding areas developed, there was a growing independent feeling among some, but the area was decidedly split in its loyalties. The site of modern New York City was the theater of the New York Campaign, a series of major battles in the early American Revolutionary War. After that, the city was under British occupation until the end of the war and was the last port British ships evacuated in 1783
