T made political and economic sense for some to do so.
Explanation:
First off, not all Native Americans supported the French during the colonial wars. Most Algonquian speakers supported the French and most Iroquois supported the English. In general, the key concepts here are economic power and political power.
The fur trade dominated colonial relations from the Ohio Valley and the Upper Midwest. Whoever controlled the economy of that area would have both economic and political power. The Iroquois were positioned to control trade via the Great Lakes. Algonquian speakers were able to go around them and deal directly with Europeans. Iroquois leaders attempted to push into the interior using British guns while Algonquians pushed the Lakota out of Minnesota and onto the plains.
Many Algonquians intermarried with the French and created a new ethnic group, the Metis who also aligned with the French, in part, because both were Catholic.

Explain the ideal bathroom situation for the help based on the conversation the women have during their bridge tournament.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

In the novel there is a deep sense when referring to the bathrooms for the black servitude, the idea was to have toilets for whites and toilets for black people.

Explanation:

According to this idea that is largely explain in all the story, whites and blacks needed to have different bathrooms because the whites thought they could get sick if they used a bathroom that was used before for a black person. They thought blacks were the ones who carried illnesses and infections and that was why they took the work to construct additional bathrooms in other areas of the houses only for the black. This idea mainly works as a show of racism and discrimination for the black workers during the epoch of 60s in Mississippi where the story is developed.
