Question

By 1608, Samuel de Champlain (sham PLAYN), had reached

Canada. There, he sailed down the St. Lawrence River from a
trading post in Tadoussac. A trading post is a type of store
set up to trade with Native Americans. At trading posts, people
exchanged European goods for furs. Later, in 1609, Champlain
traveled to what is now northern New York. He reached a large
lake that he named Lake Champlain, after himself. Champlain
was friendly with Native Americans in the area. He even joined
one group, the Hurons, in a war against the Iroquois.
Another explorer, Henry Hudson, arrived in New York in
1609. He was an Englishman sailing for the Netherlands. People
from the Netherlands are also called the Dutch. Hudson sailed
into New York Bay and then up a wide river. That river is named
for him today. You'll read more about Hudson on the next page.

Answer 1

Answer: There are a ton of factors. The probable reason why it maybe important to set up a trading post is to export the American riches like Corn, Tomatoes, etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

They wanted to export these American riches because they didn't have these resources back in European homeland. In exchange for the Native Americans, they traded European riches like wheat, rye, ammunition, weapons, etc, to these Native Americans.
