If you were a french trader in the 1600s, which item would you most likely offer to an american indian in exchange for a pelt?
a. bible
b. hatchet
c. gun
d. canoe

French traders often traded furs for guns. Therefore, they would exchange guns.

- C) gun

Give them a gun! Well to tell you the truth, I would most likely give them liquor. As Native Americans had a low tolerance to booze, it was very effective to get them addicted to alcohol and drugs so that they are willing to sell you everything for a bottle of alcohol. Since alcohol isn't an option, the second best choice would be C. gun. The native Americans did not have the technology to create guns, and it was only through trade with Europeans that they were able to access this technology at all. Since guns would be a novelty to them (a bible would be a novelty too, but what would people who don't even read about it or care do with a bible?), Natives would be willing to trade much for a pelt.

Iwill support us side.
