Because, bartering, my definition, is trading. Without trading with the local native americans, Jamestown villagers would have died off. And if they died off, one could argue that there would be no America. So you see trading has made us what we are today. But maybe if Jamestown would have died off our good ole american lives could be much diffrent.

Is it true that The shortage of money in the colonies forced the colonists to use a system of barter?
For a variety of reasons, money was almost always in short supply during the early colonial period. The lack of coins and currency forced the colonists to barter. The English leaders felt that colonial exports, such as animal skins, dried fish, and tobacco, should be paid for in English goods. Colonial exports would be accepted in return for an equal value of such goods as fabrics, window panes, pewter dishes, and mirrors. This barter arrangement - an exchange of goods or services without using money - seemed ideal to the British but was increasingly unpopular with the colonists, who preferred coin for their exports to gain more independence over their buying power.
