Detailed explanation-1: -Cahokia was abandoned during the 13th and 14th centuries. Although Cahokia’s demise has been attributed to flooding, a new study suggests that drought-like conditions may have been to blame. The researchers collected sediment from the bottom of Horseshoe Lake, which lies north of the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Cahokia continued living near the mission until they relocated south in 1734. French influences, especially liquor, had negatively impacted their population. It also brought attacks by pro-British tribes, who destroyed their village in 1752.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cahokia was a city that, at its peak from A.D. 1050-1200, was larger than many European cities, including London. The city was spread out over six square miles (16 square kilometers) and encompassed at least 120 mounds and a population between 10, 000 and 20, 000 people.
Detailed explanation-4: -Populations in the Cahokia region continued to grow until ca. A.D. 1200, when the region’s population size and cultural prominence began to decline (6, 9, 15), and, by A.D. 1350, Cahokia and the surrounding region were almost completely abandoned (6).
