Answer 1

The English treated the Natives as inferior, believed they stood in the way of their “God-given right” to the land in America and tried to subject the Natives to their laws as they established their colonies.


The French respected Native territories, their ways, and treated them as the human beings that they were. The Natives, in return, treated the French as trusted friends.
