Question

American settlements that profited from exporting furs were:

New Orleans
Santa Fe
Quebec
New Amsterdam

Answer 1

Of the options you provided, **New Amsterdam** was a significant American settlement that profited from exporting furs. Established by the Dutch in the early 17th century, New Amsterdam (now New York City) became a major center for the fur trade.

**Quebec** is also notable for its fur trade history, but it was a French settlement and not typically grouped with American settlements in the same context as New Amsterdam.

**New Orleans** and **Santa Fe** were involved in trade and commerce but were not primarily known for exporting furs like New Amsterdam was.

So, the correct answer focusing on American settlements would be **New Amsterdam**.
