Excerpt from The British Leave Wisconsin: The War of 1812In 1796 the British had moved out of the forts they held on Ameri can soil. They agreed to work under American fur trade laws. Difficulties soon arose, however. The American government set up a trade monopoly and established factories to which the Indians would bring furs and be paid for them. The idea was to con trol the Indians by controlling their supply of goods. The British and Canadian traders had always given the Indians goods on credit and the following season furs would be brought in as payment. The Ameri cans paid for the furs when they were received. No furs, no payment. The Indians didn't like that.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
