The correct answer is - C. horses.
The French knew very well what the Native Americans would be interested in, and what can play in their favor, so in order to maximize their own profit, they were selling horses to the Native Americans. The Native Americans were fascinated by the horse, and how much things it was making easier to do, sot hey were not thinking twice to buy one or more. Now apart from making profit from the sale of horses, the French fur traders benefited from the sale of the horses because the Native Americans became much more efficient in hunting with them, thus they were providing much more fur by using the horses.
Answer:
is there more to the question?
The Mississippi Valley was very attractive for early colonizers. The Spaniards first went there in 1541, hoping they would find gold just like their fellow citizens had done in Mexico two decades earlier. But their venture didn't bear any fruit. Then, in 1673, French came to explore the land. Soon enough, missionaries followed their steps, and the first small settlements were formed, in spite of many troubles (such as outbreaks of smallpox).
Marquis de Lafayette helped to train the American colonists and even served in battle with them. Lafayette first came to the American colonies in 1777. Upon arrival, was appointed a Major General in the colonial army. From there, he taught the American colonists military techniques, strategies, and other important information needed to defeat the British. He even fought for the American colonists in the Battle of Brandywine. His help was imperative to the colonists success against the British.
