What did Native Americans and Europeans trade with each other during the colonial era?
I was taught “furs” from beaver, mink, otter, marten, fox, etc. and that makes sense for high value and rarity. Further reading indicates the Native Americans provided a great deal of ready to eat food (corn, beans, squash, pumpkins, dried meat and fish, acorns, berries, etc.) as they were better farmers than the Europeans up until 20th Century yields.They also trade deer hides more than anything else, with bison hides a close second, for their broad utility in apparel, harnesses, footwear, packs and bags, rawhide strips as the equivalent later on of baling wire or bungee cords as universal fasteners and straps, and material for light and heavy coats.The edible and medicinal plants known to the local Indians were also very high value, literally life or death products in many cases.The Europeans traded them rum particularly (as they’d keep coming back for it while most physical goods they were quickly sated on), fabrics (Wool, Linen, Cotton, Canvas, Silk) generally dyed in colors not locally available, needles and thread, steel knives, cast iron cooking pots, iron traps for all sorts of animals (most trappers were actually Native Americans), firearms of any sort and vintage, gunpowder and lead for bullet-making over a campfire, gun flints (English preferably, French lower value), refined cane sugar, wheat flour, dried fruits, glass beads made in Europe, India, and Africa, tomahawks/hatchets, axes for tree felling, horses, cattle, candles, etc..Consumables to both sides had the greatest trading value as it meant they’d be back to trade more in the future.
What effect did the glorious revolution have on the american colonies?
The Glorious Revolution helped usher in the Age of Enlightenment in the American colonies. The single most important development in England to affect the self-identity of the colonists was the Glorious Revolution of 1688. While this was a profound event for the English, for the colonists it was truly earth-shattering. The colonists had suffered under James II just as profoundly, and perhaps more so, than the English. James had refused to recognized colonial charters, did not allow colonists any say over laws and taxes, and seemed to rule arbitrarily. In many ways, James' treatment of the colonies mirrored his growing independence of the English Parliament. Moreover, James was a Catholic and the colonists were primarily Protestant, most of them radical Protestants. When James issued the Declarations of Indulgence, which granted freedom of worship to Catholics, this pleased Marylanders, but it deeply troubled the rest of the colonies. More ominous to the colonies was the pattern which James seemed to be laying down; all his actions seemed to indicate that he wanted to replace Protestant institutions with Catholic ones. This bode especially ill since France, a Catholic country, had become an absolute monarchy under Louis XIV. In the colonists mind, Catholicism equaled absolutism. This equation was playing itself out: by the time of the Glorious Revolution, over half the governments of the colonies, hitherto more or less autonomous, were under the direct control of the monarch. News of the Glorious Revolution filtered in slowly and inaccurately to the colonies. The colonists instantly saw the applicability of the Revolution to their situation, and began a series of revolts in 1689. They really had little idea as to what had precisely happened, and when William of Orange became King of England, his orders to the colonies never really made it in a timely manner. Starting first in Boston, and spreading to Plymouth, New York and Maryland, revolts broke out forcing the king's government, the Dominion, to hand power back over to the colonists. The English, for their part, did not see the connection between their revolution and the American reassertion of power over their affairs; most, in fact, were appalled by the 1689 revolutions. An important watershed had been reached, however; the principle of colonial autonomy became the rallying cry of Americans through the eighteenth century.
