William Becknell (1787 or 1788–30 April 1865) was a soldier, politician, and freight operator who is credited with opening the Santa Fe Trail in 1821.The Santa Fe Trail was a 19th-century transportation route through central North America that connected Independence, Missouri with Santa Fe, New Mexico. It served as a vital commercial highway until the introduction of the railroad to Santa Fe in 1880. But, William Becknell was often using long-established trails made by Native Americans and followed by Spanish and French colonial explorers and traders for years before his trip.French colonists in St. Louis had a monopoly on trade with Santa Fe granted by the Spanish rulers before the Louisiana Purchase by the United States. When Mexico achieved independence from Spain in 1821, it opened up trade to its territories; residents of Santa Fe were eager for more trade goods.In 1822 Becknell altered his route to Santa Fe in order to find a trail more suitable for wagon trains, and enable transport of more trade goods. Earlier travelers had ridden on horseback trailing packhorses. By 1825, he assisted a surveyor with the federal government in mapping the trail, to make it available for commercial and military use.

Explain how the British restricted settlements and expansion west of the Appalachians
Leno4ka [110]

They introduced the Proclamation of 1763.

Explanation:

  • Before the French and Indian wars, the French controlled the fur trade from their bases in Canada. French merchants traded with the Native Americans in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, even as far as the Missouri River. The French did not settle in these areas but focused on establishing trading posts.
  • After the French and Indian wars, the British took over the fur trade from the French. Native American tribes were threatened by the western movement of the American colonists. The Ohio Valley Indians fought the French during the French and Indian Wars to block the colonists' Western movements.
  • The Western colonist movement angered the tribes of the Ohio Valley. The settlers threatened to disrupt and destroy the lucrative fur trade now benefiting England, helping to repay debts incurred during the French and Indian wars. The western settlement had to be stopped in order to preserve peace and the fur trade with the Indians.
  • The proclamation of 1763 made it illegal for any settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.
