I think the correct answer is...
<em>D) Defended the rights of Native Americans.</em>
Explanation:
By the early 1700s, the fur trade was firmly established in the Great Lakes region. The French empire was based on the fur trade in this region and required Native American alliances to sustain it. Native people and the French traded, lived together, and often married each other and built families together.
B. The Great Awakening
This was a was a series of religious revivals that swept over the American colonies that were led by evangelical Protestant ministers. It broke the monopoly of the Puritan church as colonists began pursuing diverse religious affiliations and interpreting the Bible for themselves.
Mainly Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
