Then you look at the mud floods of 1812 and how it changed North America. Don't you think its strange that European Americans didn't settle beyond the Mississippi until after the 1811/1812 events?

Do you know what happened in 1811/1812? Thousands of earthquakes, the "black Comet" A summer without a sun. The Mississippi flowed backwards, the landscape of America seems to have changed at that point, possibly a lost civilization of North and South America erased from history. Columbia and Venezuela totally destroyed by mud flows, giant lakes spilled out and erased the past in both North and South America.


Gee, they never taught us the best stuff in public school. Never heard of the mud floods of 1812, just the War of 1812 with Great Britain. If the Mississippi flowed backwards, then how did Colonel Jackson and the Tennessee squirrel hunters chase the British "down" the Mississippi all the way to New Orleans?

I don't think it's the least bit strange that Euro-Americans didn't settle beyond the Mississippi until after 1812. Lewis and Clark didn't return from the continent-crossing expedition until 1805. It took a while for word to get around due to the lack of internet, electricity, computers, and I-phones. Hell, half the population of New York City still believes all land west of the Hudson River is grizzly and wolf inhabited wilderness. Few Euro-Americans moved west before 1812 because there were few whites in total, and there was still a lot of land to settle east of the Mississippi. I doubt mud floods had much to do with it.
