12. Why were the native Americans so important in the clash between the french and the British explain which side french of British received the best advantage with the native Americans provide evidence supporting your reason for selecting that side.
I think the answer might be: The French because the Natives hated the British and did not hate the French as much.
Be patient! I answered your question almost as soon as it appeared! Tutors are volunteers. We are not always here. You lucked out that I am online right now.
I had this on my test yesterday
I put:
Native Americans were important because the French and British both had American Indian allies. In my opinion, I think that the British had the best advantage, even though the French allied with several Native American tribes including the Shawnee, Lenape, Ojibwa, Ottawa, and the Algonquin peoples. The British allied with the Iroquois, Catawba, and the Cherokee, which were some of the strongest Native American tribes
So I think you should include a lot more, it's worth 5 points.
I think you both should read the material I posted to Lily pad a few minutes ago.
To understand why the Native Americans were important in the clash between the French and the British, and to determine which side received the best advantage, we need to examine the historical context and the interactions the Native Americans had with both sides.
During the colonial period in North America, both the French and the British sought alliances and support from the Native American tribes to gain an advantage over each other. The Native Americans played a crucial role as they controlled vast territories and possessed knowledge about the land and its resources. They often served as valuable guides, scouts, and warriors in conflicts between the European powers.
Now, let's evaluate which side, the French or the British, received the best advantage with the Native Americans by examining the evidence:
1. French Advantage:
a. Longstanding Relationships: The French had established trade networks and alliances with several Native American tribes, particularly those in the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions. They had developed long-standing relationships based on mutual respect and cooperation.
b. Cultural Understanding: The French had a history of integrating more closely with Native American cultures compared to the British. They adopted Native American practices, learned their languages, and respected their customs, which created a sense of trust and camaraderie.
c. Flexible Approach: The French were generally more open to Native American autonomy and allowed tribes to maintain their territorial sovereignty. This attitude helped forge stronger alliances and prevented resentment from building up.
2. British Disadvantage:
a. Land Encroachment: The British colonists encroached upon Native American lands, diminishing their hunting grounds and disrupting their way of life. This led to greater opposition and frequent conflicts with Native American tribes who held longstanding grievances against the British.
b. Cultural Differences: The British colonists often viewed Native American practices as inferior and made attempts to impose their own culture, which created tension and resentments. This strained relations with Native American tribes and hindered effective alliances.
Based on these factors, the evidence suggests that the French had the advantage with the Native Americans during the clash with the British. Their established relationships, cultural understanding, and flexible approach allowed them to garner strong support from many Native American tribes. In contrast, the British faced difficulties due to land encroachment and cultural differences, which led to strained relations with Native Americans.
It is important to note that this assessment is a generalization and may not apply uniformly to all Native American tribes or individuals. Native American tribes had diverse experiences and made individual choices based on their own interests and priorities.
