❯ Rapid Review
Although the Aztecs built upon Mesoamerican tradition to establish a powerful empire in
the valley of Mexico, the Andean highlands also saw the emergence of an extremely native
empire in the centuries before European conquest. The Aztecs ruled other peoples with
brutality, whereas the Incas concentrated on integrating subject peoples into their empire.
Aztec peoples engaged in long-distance trade, while the Incas were noted for the careful
organization of their empire and their system of roads. In addition to the natives of Mesoa-
merica and Andean America, native peoples of the Mississippian culture of North America
also constructed large mounds used for ceremonial and burial purposes.❯ Review Questions
