What was a consequence of the fact that early people of the Americas did not have horses or oxen?
Actually the earliest people in the Americas did have horses available, but they used them as a source of food not as "beasts of burden", this hunting drove the American horses into extinction.Without "beasts of burden" the people of the Americas used either dogs or had to carry loads themselves. In South America the llamas (relatives of camels) were domesticated as "beasts of burden".

What year was writing invented in the US?
Answer: Writing existed thousands of years before the United States came into existence. The earliest writings can be dated back to around 3500 B.C.in Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq) and it was called Cuneiform. If the question is specific about the Americas in particular, the earliest forms of writing were pictographic and were used by the Meso-american Indians such as the Olmecs, the Mayans and later on the Aztecs.
