Location and population

There are many different locations in which people find it easy to settle in. the best place for people to settle in is a plain with a river. All the areas along the Mississippi were great places for some of the first settlers from Europe. Of course theses lands were not discovered until after the first Europeans stepped foot in America. The Mississippi was a major transport route for the longest time. It was used to transport food, tea, and artillery. The land along the seine river is another great place to settle, because it is and was the main source of water for all of Paris, which is the capital of France. When people first started living in Paris, they used the seine to get water from, but soon the river dried up, and the people were not getting water. So someone invented a pump to pump the water into aqueducts. A third example of a good place to settle is the Nile River. The Nile River runs through Egypt, and since most of Egypt is desert, people settled here for transportation, water, and vegetation. Back in the Mesopotamian times people would make boats out of wood, and use them to travel down the Nile to trade with other people.
