Answer:
Sahaptin nations came into direct contact with whites several decades before the arrival of the members of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM). These relations set expectations among the Cayuse for how exchanges and dialogue with whites would operate. Primarily the early Euro-Americans engaged in the North American fur trade and the Maritime fur trade. Marine captains regularly gave small gifts to indigenous merchants as a means to encourage commercial transactions. Later land-based trading posts, operated by the Pacific Fur Company, the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company, regularized economic and cultural exchanges, including gift giving. Interactions were not always peaceful. Native Americans suspected that the whites had power over the new diseases that they suffered. Reports from the period note that members of the Umpqua, Makah, and Chinookan nations faced threats of destruction through white-carried illnesses, as the natives had no immunity to these new infectious diseases.[4] After becoming the premier fur gathering operation in the region, the HBC continued to develop ties on the Columbian Plateau.

Answer: Some historians believe that the Mississippi River's control was a key factor that decided the victor in the war.
Explanation:
Statistics say that as many as 26 battles were fought around that strategic place during the civil war and countless smaller conflicts. Control of the Mississippi River was one of the key factors in the Civil War. After the Union gained control of the Mississippi River, it gained a huge strategic advantage. In the first place, it divided the Confederation into two parts, and since the communication was flowing along that river, communication with the Confederation was disabled. With this move, the Union also economically weakened the Confederation since there was a huge flow of goods along the river to be disabled. Thus the Confederation was economically in disarray.
