How did the french and british approach the fur trade differently?
The British set up a private company, the Hudson Bay Company whose business model had them set up trading forts along the coast to which trappers, mainly Aboriginals, would bring furs to for trading. The advantage to the Aborginals was the ability to live as they choose inland, for Hudson Bay Company it limited their expense and risk of traveling inland. The European French found themselves kicked out of what is today Canada in the mid 1700's the result of losing wars to the English. Some remained and became French Canadians. They traded inland bypassing the HBC monoply and trading directly with whoever they found willing to trade. Inland trading forced HBC to change their plans and move ever further inland. Eventually a company was set up out of Montreal to compete directly with the HBC. The Northwest Company was bought out by, or merged with the HBC in 1821 and they became one company.

Why did most African people come to the US?
Along the west coast of Africa, from the Cameroons in the south to Senegal in the north, Europeans built some sixty forts that served as trading posts. European sailors seeking riches brought rum, cloth, guns, and other goods to these posts and traded them for human beings. European traders such as Nicolas Owen waited at these forts for slaves; African traders transported slaves from the interior of Africa. Equiano and others found themselves sold and traded more than once, often in slave markets. African merchants, the poor, royalty -- anyone -- could be abducted in the raids and wars that were undertaken by Africans to secure slaves that they could trade. The slave trade devastated African life. Culture and traditions were torn asunder, as families, especially young men, were abducted. Guns were introduced and slave raids and even wars increased.
