Answer:

The main reason is that they did not try to change the Natives. They also did not compete with the Natives for land.When the French first came to the Americas in the 1530s and 1540s to engage in seasonal fur trading, they immediately established strong trading ties with the local Natives they found there. The Natives already dealt extensively in furs.

Step-by-step explanation:

basically, they treated them as actual human-beings instead of compitition or obsticals.
