Who were the allies of the British-American colonists in the French and Indian War?
The Iroquois Indians helped the fighters in the British army and the British colonists. The Huron Indian tribe helped the French. Early in the war, young George Washington was sent to Ohio to quell the disturbance there. It was his first battle. He and his fighters were so outwitted and out-numbered that Washington had to surrender. He returned to Virginia where he lived and vowed he would never go to war again. But he was called upon again, and eventually became General George Washington.
Where did the french and Indians traded?
The earliest fur traders in North America were French explorers and fisherman in the early 1500s. Trade started after the French offered the Indians kettles, knives and other gifts as a way of making friendly relations. In return the Indians gave the French pelts. In the early 1600s demand for beaver fur increased along with several others like fox, marten, mink and otter. Then the French explorer Samuel de Champlain established a fur trading post in what is now known as Quebec Canada. The French then began taking over the fur trade along the St. Lawrence river and around the Great Lakes. The French traders got furs from the Huron Indians and later from the Ottawa Indians. But those tribes weren't trappers but they got the furs from other Indians to trade to the French for other goods. The fur trade caused conflict between France and Great Britain in America and rivalries over trading alliances arose among Indian tribes that wanted to obtain European goods. Fur trading promoted friendly relations between Indians and white traders but it also caused Indian hostility towards white settlers because the clearing of land threatened the supply of fur-bearing animals. By 1870 most fur trading activity had ended because most Europeans began to use silk instead of pelt. Hope this helps!
