Final answer:
The statement regarding Africans traveling with French Jesuit missionaries in 17th century North America is true. The colonizationist scheme had a mixed reception among black abolitionists, and it is not accurate to say it was universally popular without context. The increasing sense of common identity post the French and Indian War and the strategic importance of Indian alliances are true statements, while the Middle Passage was part of the Atlantic, not the Indian Ocean trade network.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question "Africans were with french explorers on the north american continent in the seventeenth century, traveling with french jesuit missionaries" is true. French Jesuit missionaries often accompanied explorers in the New World, and it's documented that they sometimes had African associates or servants with them. For example, in the 17th century, Jesuits were active in what is now Canada, and they worked to convert the indigenous peoples to Christianity. In some cases, Africans were part of these missions.
The colonizationist scheme in the early 1800s, which involved sending free African-Americans to Africa to establish colonies, had mixed reception among black abolitionists. Some supported it as a way to establish a free black state, while others opposed it because they viewed America as their true home and did not agree with voluntary segregation.
It is true that the majority of the native populations in the Americas suffered greatly during the exploration period due to European diseases and conquest. The Europeans did possess superior weapons which also contributed to the loss of life among native populations.
Regarding the colonizationist scheme again, it had supporters and detractors among black abolitionists, which implies that it was not universally popular. This makes the statement that "The colonizationist scheme of the early 1800s proved to be popular among black abolitionists" somewhat misleading without additional context.
The statement that "An increasing sense of common identity among the colonists was one of the legacies of the French and Indian War" is considered true. The shared experiences and challenges of the war fostered a growing sense of unity among the disparate colonial populations.
Indian alliances were indeed crucial for European colonial powers in establishing foothold and influence in North America, especially in the Southeast.
The Middle Passage was not part of the Indian Ocean trade network; rather, it was the transatlantic slave trade route from Africa to the Americas.
As for the Iroquois Confederacy during the Revolutionary War, not all tribes maintained neutrality; some sided with the British, while others supported the Americans.
The French Jesuit missionaries in New France were known for their attempts at converting local indigenous tribes and did indeed gather extensive knowledge about them, although they faced various challenges in their mission work.
