Somewhere around 1300 a.D., the Pueblo people have abandoned their territory and moved to the south-west.

Various unfortunate incidents had made the Pueblo community abandon its lands, and along with them, most of its culture. However, the Pueblo cultural identity had not been lost through time and Pueblo people that pay great attention to their cultural values are still present today in the U.S.

The South American continent has also had several empires which flourished previous to the time that the early colonists arrived. The Empire had its capital in the great city of Cusco, and, all of the political and military decisions were taken in the respective city. To this day, the city had remained famous, with numerous people visiting it every year because it has become a main tourist attraction.

The Incas began as a tribe, with their leader, Manco Capac, establishing the city of Cusco. The Incas living in the fourteenth century in the Kingdom of Cusco were led by Inca Roca, the sixth Sapa Inca. Inca Roca's reign started around 1350 a.D. And he was the first to belong to the upper dynasty. The empire slowly but surely spread across South-America, and, in its height, it covered a large portion of western South-America.
The methods that the Incas used to expand their borders were sometimes aggressive, as they conquered other tribes. However, the Incas were also accustomed to more peaceful methods of expansion, such as assimilation.

Most of the Inca culture had disappeared as an effect of smallpox brought by the Spanish and because the Spanish were very brutal towards the Incas.

The continent of Africa has been one in which slavery had thrived long before Europeans came and took black people in order to enslave them. The Africans have been reported to have been accustomed to having other Africans as their slaves. During the 15th century, before the start of the Atlantic slave trade business, trans-Saharan and East African slave trades have been flourishing.

The Europeans have started to take people as slaves from Africa in 1441 when several Portuguese captains had taken a dozen of black people with the intention of taking them back to Portugal where they would be used as slaves.

The slave trade within the African continent had decreased as a result of Europeans coming and taking black people away. However, it lasted until the early 20th century when the last slaves had become free.
