Gun TradeGun Trade

In order to manage the Indians they turned them into slave catchers. Native Indians would hunt other Indians to sell as slaves or capture runaway African slaves. They did this in exchange for guns and ammunition. If they did not participate they would be at risk of being hunted and defeated by other Indians.

The Indians traded with the Carolinas. They traded animal hides and slaves in exchange for cloth, knives, rum and guns.

Having guns available enabled them to kill more deer for trade.
