VIII. Read and answer
When the early settlers, especially the British, arrived in the New World, the hardships and dangers awaiting them were
totally unexpected. Everything seemed to be so strange to them, including way of life and the weather. It was some friendly
Indians who did a lot to help the colonists; therefore, they could survive the terrible winters they had never gone through as
they were in the Old World. The colonists knew nothing about planting crops, hunting animals, building sod houses, or
making clothing from animal skins. Life in England had been much simpler, and this new life was not like what the Spanish
explorers had reported after their explorations.
The settlers did introduce iron tools, muskets for hunting, domesticated animals, and political ways to the Indians. In
exchange, the settlers learned to build canoes for water transportation and snowshoes and toboggans for winter traveling.
The Indians also taught them to blaze trails through the forest, to hunt large animals and trap smaller ones, and to spear
fish in the lakes and streams.
The natives also introduced to the settlers typical foods such as turkey, corn, squash, beans, and pumpkin. Everything
possible was done in order to make their new settlement resemble the homes they had left behind.
