1 What made NativeAmerican andEuropean subsistence cycles so different from one another in colonialAmerica had less to do with their use of plants than with their use of animals.Domesticated grazing animals and the plow were the most distinguishing characteristics ofEuropean agricultural practices. The NativeAmericans’ relationship to the deer, moose, and beaver they hunted was far different from that of theEuropeans to the pigs, cows, sheep, and horses they owneD、

The effects of that control could be seen in most aspects of NewEngland’s rural economy.By the end of the colonial period, theEuropeans were responsible for a host of changes in the NewEngland landscape: endless miles of fences, a system of country roads, and new fields covered with grass, clover, and buttercups.
