Why did paying of the Plymouth colony's debt help the colony succeed?

History

Luba_88 [7]4 years ago
3 0

<u><em>The fur trade industry was the colony’s economic salvation</em></u>. For the first few years that the colony existed, the colonists struggled to make enough money to pay the investors back. In fact, they had to ask for more money just to keep the colony running and by the mid to late 1620s, they were deeply in debt to the investors.

<u>To help pay down the debt they still owed</u>, the colonists established a beaver fur trading base in Kennebec, Maine by 1625.  

<u>This fur trading business was very successful for the colonists and quickly became an essential part of their economy</u>. Their success in this trade continued well into the 1630s and 1640s..

Saddam Hussein, who was then-leader of Iraq, blamed past American actions for the events, although the country later expressed sympathy with the victims of the attack. The link between Hussein's Iraq government and al-Qaeda is controversial; George W. Bush used this partly as justification for the Iraq war. </span>

Oliga [24]
