At a confluence (of the Mississippi, Missouri, & Illinois Rivers), Mississippian mound builders densely populate Cahokia (perhaps exceeding 20,000 inhabitants); this settlement strained the limits of the era's farming practices, though the population seems to've rivaled that of present-day London.

Jamestown--first of the European settlements--introduces wild Bermuda tobacco via one John Rolfe; he arrives after much the place is wracked by classic colonial duplicity (with the natives) and no little starvation (survived, partially, with the assistance of cannibalism).

"America" becomes a thing, forever branding subsequent events as "American".

Westward Expansion gives "America" more "America" to dominate, pushing natives farther and farther away from their homelands via the so-called "Louisiana Purchase"--in thirty years, John Deere invents the steel plow; his tool makes it easier to cultivate the sprawling and stubborn prairie soils.

J.P. Morgan founds U.S. Steel, forging of his own mettle...the greatest Robber Baron, arguably. -A few years later (re: 1908), Henry Ford essentially rings in the future world by creating "assembly line" labor...wherein which humans can finally be easily replaced with alarming ease.

Until the dawn of full automation and AI, this will be The Worldkilling Way...
