I'm talking about the conditions when the first English-speaking colonists arrived in North America. Are you retarded? Do I need to write shorter sentences?

There were trade routes between North and South America. Diseases like smallpox traveled quickly via these routes and killed most of the native population off before white people arrived in North America. There was almost nothing left of the mound-building cultures in the Midwest, for example.
