during the french and indian wwar the american colonists:

1. cooperated closely with britain
2. often traded with the enemy
3. enthusiastically supported the war effort
4. provide no troops

I think it is either 1 or 3

sorry i have already done research but i cant figure out if it is 1 or 3 they both seem to make sense

It isn't 3 because the colonists did not ENTHUSIASTICALLY support the war.

Because they sided with England, fighting the French in this war, #1.

Sra

I don't like any of the answers.

1. Although the Americans fought on the British side, as a group they did not cooperate closely with Britain.

2. The Americans traded with the Indians, but I found no substantiation to say they often traded with them.

3. See above.

4. Obviously wrong because the Americans did supply some troops.

By process of elimination, my guess is that 2 is the correct answer.

To determine the correct answer, we can examine the historical context and events during the French and Indian War. During this war, which took place from 1754 to 1763, the American colonists were initially supportive of Britain and its efforts. However, it is important to note that the level of cooperation varied among the colonists.

While some colonists did cooperate closely with Britain, it is important to understand that not all colonists shared the same sentiment. The relationship between the British government and American colonists was complex and evolved over time. Thus, option 1 cannot be accepted as the correct answer without further examination.

Similarly, option 3, which suggests that the American colonists enthusiastically supported the war effort, may not be entirely accurate. Again, it is important to consider the diversity of opinions within the American colonies. Some colonists were indeed supportive of the war effort, but others may have had reservations or opposed the war.

Considering the options given, it is more likely that option 4 is the correct answer. During the French and Indian War, the American colonists did not provide troops as an organized military force. The fighting primarily involved British regulars, colonial militias, and Native American allies.

It is worth noting that option 2, which suggests that the American colonists often traded with the enemy, is not entirely accurate either. The war disrupted trade and caused economic hardships for the colonists. While illicit and private trade may have occurred, it was not a widespread phenomenon.

In conclusion, based on the information provided, it is most likely that option 4 is the correct answer, indicating that the American colonists did not provide troops during the French and Indian War.
