Answer:

The French Catholic missionaries

Step-by-step explanation:

The French Catholic missionaries differ from the Spanish and the Portuguese in many ways starting with their behaviour towards the Native Americans. They never forced the Native to convert into Christianity. Spanish and Portuguese used violence and forced conversion as they sought to save the Native soul from hell. French Catholic missionaries were small in number dedicated to converting by travelling great distances and interacted with many different Native tribes and ethnic groups.
