Detailed explanation-1: -Trade was one of the first bridges between New England colonists and local Native American populations. For the colonists, it was about building the infrastructure and relationships they would need to stay and thrive in the New World. For the Native Americans, it was often about building potential alliances.
Detailed explanation-2: -In many cases the colonists would trade with Native Americans; giving them goods and weapons, such as the musket, in exchange for beaver pelt and the capturing of other natives from rival tribes to be sold into slavery.
Detailed explanation-3: -Native Americans resented the new British presence and power. The British Army did not continue the same gift-giving practices of the French and soon Pontiac’s War (1763–1766) followed, as Native warriors refused to accept the conditions of peace that Britain imposed and France accepted.
