Helped them with trade, agriculture, crafts, and population grew.
Alaska was not allowed to claim lands held by Native Americans
The best answer to the problem is the bottom answer
I would say B. that is because when it says "whites" that refers to white colored skin people. Plus people back then would be called white because of there skin. Plus it was often "whites" that owned slaves!
Hope i helped!!!
