Hudson had many impacts. One is that he has a river, a strait, and a bay named after him. The river was used to travel goods in boats. Also they traded up and down the river. They started by trading fur, food, and beaver pellets. The beaver population went down because they killed them for fur. Then they started trading clothes, food, money, and supplies for houses. Third they traded electronics and car parts. Because of this we have many things shipped down the Hudson river.
