Answer:

French colonists rarely established large plantations in North America

Step-by-step explanation:

French colonists rarely established large plantations in North America, they were more interested in establishing commerce such as fur trade and exchanging fur for other French goods. They established large plantation in their West Indian colonies where they had sugar plantation sites and used African slave labor.
