Who traded with the Backcountry?

The Backcountry, a region in the Appalachian Mountains during the colonial period, primarily engaged in trade with European settlers, particularly those from Virginia and Pennsylvania. Native American tribes, such as the Cherokee and Iroquois, also participated in trade, exchanging furs and other goods for European items like tools, weapons, and textiles. This trade network was essential for both settlers and Indigenous peoples, facilitating cultural exchange and economic interactions.
