Dear Mr.Peabody
NWC started because the france,montreal and quebec all became the shipping centers for the fur trade. and quebec ships unloaded all the trade goods from france and loaded all the furs for france.the NWC(North West Company started near the edge of the beach like all fur traders/colonists but in particuler its started in quebec . a factor in the context of the fur trade means the person who is in charge of a fort and its business fot the hudsons bay company or the north west company. at first the metis were in the center of the fur trade professionally and geographically. then they became guides,interpreters,freighters,provisioners and traders.
the hudsons bay company won the fur trade because they are still here today. the hudsons bay company took over almost all of lower canada and a little bit of america. the hudsons bay company won the fur trade from 1760-1821.people in france and europe and britin stoped wanting fur hats because people found silk and started making hats out of them. good and bad because you could practice whatever religeon you wanted but you had to build everything farms,fences,buildings(hospitals etc.),houses. someone in the forts would ether have to run through the forests or help stock/unstock the boats when getting to France/New France or they would have to canoe/portage as a voyageur.
