Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The log cabin was actually the contribution of Scandinavian settlers in New Sweden, which was located in modern-day Delaware. It was not the essential form of housing for early settlers in all colonies, nor did it originate in the Carolinas or with the Pilgrims in Plymouth colony. While some Eastern Woodlands Indians did use log cabins, it was not their chief form of housing.
