Wha
The advantages of the fur trade for the French traders were that they got to control the main waterways throughout the west, they had a sure supply of birch bark needed for canoes, many of the trade good were well liked by the indians, they also maintained good relationships with the Natives. The disadvantages of the fur trade for the Natives and the French were the start and growth of the Hudson Bay Company, because the heads of companies like the Hudson Bay Company and the North West Company were sent to the Americas on a task of defeat by the monarchic governments and business societies of Europe. This company introduced foreign concepts like money and financial conquest. The Natives did not understand the long
term effects of accepting foreign ideals, which would have on their people; they could lose control over their national home lands through them. The Hudson bay company was not respected by many french canadian fur traders.
I don`t know if this is right. There is too much information on this, and I`m unable to shorten that information out, to add it in here.
I did this on my Microsoft Word to correct my spellings.
You've got it! This is great! :-)
Thanks, is there info in there which I haven`t added. I`d like small bits of important info in there which I need. Does this sentence make sense:
The Natives did not understand the long term effects of accepting foreign ideals, which would have on their people; they could lose control over their national home lands through them.
"The Natives did not understand the long term effects of accepting foreign ideals, which would have on their people; they could lose control over their national home lands through them. "
That sentence makes sense. But this is a little better:
The Natives did not understand the long term effects of accepting foreign ideals; they could lose control over their national home lands because of these foreign deals.
I understand that the question may be confusing, but let's break it down step by step to understand what it is asking. The question is asking for an outline of the results of the fur trade from the perspectives of both the French traders and the Native peoples they encountered.
To answer this question, you can start by considering the perspective of the French traders. One result of the fur trade for the French was the increased demand for certain types of fur, which in turn led to the potential for more wealth to be gained. As a result, French traders established trading posts in key locations where they could engage in the fur trade and capitalize on this demand.
However, the fur trade also had consequences for the Native peoples they encountered. As the trade expanded, conflicts arose between the French and the Natives over access to fur-bearing animals and control of trading routes. This led to the outbreak of wars and conflicts between the French and the Native peoples.
Furthermore, the trade was interrupted at times due to various problems, such as disagreements, tensions, and violent conflicts. These interruptions impacted both the French traders and the Native peoples by disrupting their economic activities and livelihoods.
Ultimately, the fur trade had significant political consequences as well. New France, the French colony in North America, was eventually conquered by the British. This British conquest resulted in a change of power dynamics, as well as the imposition of new trade regulations and practices by the British authorities.
In summary, the fur trade had both positive and negative consequences for both the French traders and the Native peoples they encountered. It brought the potential for wealth and economic opportunities for the French, but also led to conflicts and disruptions in trade. The British conquest of New France further changed the dynamics of the fur trade and brought about new regulations.
