They slept on a bed of hay on the ground with little to no furniture beyond a stool or bench. Life expectancy was only 35 years old in this period.</p><p>America was founded in the early 17th century (Jamestown, 1607) so let us not get carried away here about the history of old furniture. For most people (excluding royalty) a house with furniture is a fairly recent human luxury.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
