13. What group of people set up the first trading posts in our area? What were the trading posts used for? The Dutch set up the first trading posts. They were used to trade with the Native Americans. The Dutch traded manufactured goods such as axes and cooking pots for furs.
14. Why were animal furs so valuable in Europe? Animal furs were used to make men’s hats and could be sold for high prices in Europe.
15. Why was Henry Hudson the person responsible for European countries wanting to come to our area? Why do you think other countries wanted to build colonies in North America? Henry Hudson was responsible for European countries wanting to come to our area because he reported back to Europe about all the resources he found in the area around the Delaware Bay. The other countries wanted to explore and claim land and use the resources.
16. How did our area change from the year 1609 to 1655? In 1609 the land was used by the Native Americans. As more explorers arrived, settlements were built, resources used, and eventually military forts were built to protect and divide the land by the countries who claimed the land.
