Answer 1

The correct answer is A. The settlers cooperated with the American Indians because they needed the American Indians’ help to survive.

Explanation:

First settlers in North America arrived from Europe during the 17th century to colonize the territory and create permanent settlings. As Europeans settlers arrived they found out surviving conditions were different from the ones in Europe and also, there were multiple American Indians tribes which meant the land was not uninhabited.

Because of this, during the first years, there was cooperation from the settlers as they need American Indians to teach them how to survive this included how to grow plants, find sources and hunt. However, after towns and colonies were created there were multiple wars with American Indians due to territory and sources. considering this, it can be concluded in early relationships between settlers and American Indians "The settlers cooperated with the American Indians because they needed the American Indians’ help to survive".
