Focus your paper on answering one of the prompts. Do not answer all of the prompts. Reading: Saunt, West of the Revolution, pp. 119-147 and 169-211 Paper Prompts: 1) Why did the Hudson’s Bay Company’s (HBC) monopoly on the fur trade in North America struggle during the 1760s and 1770s? 2) Why did the Treaty of Paris of 1763 positively impact the Osages (at least in the short-run) and negatively impact the Creeks? 3) On page 175, Saunt argues that the Osages were “imperial.” Later, he talks about the Osage “empire” (182). Do you agree that the Osages were an empire? Why or why not? When answering the question, whether you agree or not, make sure to explain and engage Saunt’s argument in your essay.
