The American settlements that profited from exporting furs were primarily **New England** and **New Amsterdam**.
- **New England** had a thriving fur trade, particularly in the early colonial period, leveraging its relationships with Indigenous peoples for fur procurement.
- **New Amsterdam** (which later became New York) was also a significant center for the fur trade, especially under Dutch control, where fur trading companies, like the Dutch West India Company, established strong trading networks.
**Santa Fe** was more focused on trade and agriculture, while **Quebec**, though a significant center for the fur trade, was part of New France and not an American settlement in the same sense as the others mentioned.
