Which of the following men made a fortune in fur trading during the first part of the nineteenth century?

A. Meriwether Lewis

B. John Jacob Astor

C. Alexander Hamilton

D. William Clark

it is John Jacob Astor

im pretty sure your correct answer out of these 4 choices is the answer

#2 John Jacob Astor

the reason for me saying this choice is the fact of Lewis and Clark didn't really do the fur trade but instead they explored and made the united states in part what is is today

Alexander Hamilton as we all know is a founding father of the united states of america. But also a very important man in the life of George Washington and a promoter of the U. S. constitution. He was also the main author of the economic policies of George Washington's administration.
