The primary difference between the views of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois lies in their approaches to African American advancement. Washington advocated for vocational education and economic self-reliance, emphasizing gradual progress and accommodation to segregation. In contrast, Du Bois called for immediate civil rights and higher education for the "Talented Tenth," believing that political activism and intellectual leadership were essential for true equality. Their differing strategies reflect broader debates on how best to achieve social justice and empowerment for African Americans.

coureur des bois or runner of the woods, were French-Canadian woodsmen. They explored woods of North America and took with them European goods, which they traded for fur of animals like beaver, with the natives of the area. They used this also as a mean to explore and learn natives' trade practices. Most of the coureurs de bois were unlicensed and treated as outlaws by France for not obtaining a permit for their trade.
the purpose of the coureur de bois are to learn the ways the aboriginal peoples live and their language to trade furs. they made lots of money but the king didn't like them because they don't work for the french, they are like half independant from the country but some of the coureur de bois (runners of the woods) actually came to new france to shape the country
