Explanation:

Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American writer to publish a book in the United States. His work Poems on Various Subjects was published in 1773, two years before the War of Independence of the United States began, and is seen as one of the first examples of African-American literature.

Born in what would be Senegal, later installed in what would be Gambia, she was captured and subjected to slavery when she was seven years old. Wheatley was taken to America about 1760, where John and Susannah Wheatley of Boston, Massachusetts bought her and converted her to the Christian faith.

Wheatley's poetry revolves around Christian themes, with many poems dedicated to famous personalities. One of the few who treat slavery is "On being brought from Africa to America."

both eastern and western early north american cultures were known for building wigwams and longhouses.

wigwams, also called wetus, were small houses of 8-10 feet tall, made of wooden frames covered with woven mats and sheets that were used by algonquian indians. similarly,   longhouses were also used by algonquian and the iroquois tribes, and they were built as well with pole frames and elm bark covering. however, the main difference between wigwams and longhouses is that the latter was much larger than the former, with 200 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 20 feet high with inner raised platforms used for sleeping space.
