Describe three reasons why the french had better relations with Native Americans than other Europeans had.

Respuesta :

1. The French traded fur with the Native Americans, so they generally treated them better than the other Europeans who would exploit the Natives and their only intention was to take their land for colonization. The fur trade was a major factor in the peaceful relations between the Natives and French.

2. The French settled in Quebec (their first permanent settlement in North America), and continued to have a strong relationship with the local Native Americans that included the continuation of the fur trade as well as intermarriage being common.

3. In the mid 1700s, the English settlers clashed with the Native Americans in the region. During these conflicts, the French supported the Natives, and even fought by their side during the French and Indian war.

The French and the Native Americans were on friendly terms than other Europeans for reasons such as:

  • Intermarriages between the two
  • French more interested in trade
  • French didn't come in large numbers

When the French came to North America, they were developed good relationships with the Natives which ensured that the Natives generally preferred them to other Europeans.

The reasons for this were:

  • The French came to the Americas primarily to trade and not to settle which meant that they did not try to take Native land.
  • The French intermarried with the Natives more than any other Europeans which showed that they respected Natives as humans
  • The French did not come to the Americas in the large numbers that the British did which meant they did not need much land.

In conclusion, the French did not disrupt the way of life of the Natives and treated them with respect and this led to good relations between them.
