(This famous order was given by Colonel William Prescott at the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775)

As the British army marched on Bunker Hill, the American militia lured them closer… and closer… and closer… by not doing a thing. It would be like playing dead while a giant black bear sniffed at you, and then stabbing it in the eye at the last second.  

This maneuver took nerves of steel, nerves that trickled down from Colonel William Prescott to his men. It was Colonel Prescott who gave the order, "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes!"  

Once they got close enough, the Americans fired, decimating the British troops.

Easier Explanation: William Prescott shouted: "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" explaining to the men that they had limited ammunition, and they needed to make every shot count.

How did the fur trade affect the interactions of the First Nations, the French, and the British in Canada?
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The fur trade provided Indigenous peoples with European goods that they could use for gift-giving ceremonies , to improve their social status and to go to war. The French forged military alliances with their Indigenous allies in order to maintain good trade and social relations.

Explanation:

First Nations people gathered furs and brought them to posts to trade for textiles, tools, guns, and other goods.The exchange benefited both of the trade partners because they each had something that the other valued and did not have. Beaver was so valuable that it became almost like money.

The fur trade was the most important industry in New France. With the money they made from furs, the French sent settlers to Canada. These were mainly traders and religious missionaries. Missionaries worked to convert Indigenous people to Christianity
