Trikzz is correct.
To determine what American Indians acquired from French and Spanish trade, we can analyze the options provided and consider historical knowledge. Let's look at each option:
A) Corn: American Indians were already cultivating corn long before the arrival of Europeans, so it is unlikely that they acquired corn through French and Spanish trade. Thus, this option is incorrect.
B) Ammunition: Guns and ammunition were indeed important trade items with the French and Spanish. American Indians traded furs, pelts, and other resources for firearms and the necessary ammunition. Therefore, this option is correct.
C) Slaves: While the French and Spanish did engage in the African slave trade, American Indians were not typically involved in this trade. So, it is unlikely that they acquired slaves through French and Spanish trade. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
D) Horses: Horses were introduced by the Spanish explorers and colonizers in the Americas and played a significant role in transforming the lives of many American Indian tribes. They revolutionized transportation, hunting, and warfare for those tribes that acquired horses. Therefore, this option is correct.
Based on the analysis above, options B (Ammunition) and D (Horses) are correct answers. So, you made the correct choice by selecting B and D.
