Question

Read the passage and answer the question below.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The French and Dutch relied heavily on trade alliances with Native Americans, while the Spanish did not.

Explanation:

In the paragraph it follows that Samuel de Champlain who was a French explorer, talks about his contact with the Algonquians in a positive and friendly way. He speaks of friendship, of joint coexistence and of trade in techniques as well as providing settlers with part of what the natives hunt in exchange for goods that the French can give in return to the natives.

This differs from the approach of the Spaniards who, although they initially traded small quantities of objects such as mirrors for gold ornaments, focused solely on the exploitation and use of natives for their own gains, forced conversion and slavery.
