How did the French and the British colonies in Canada differ from the Spanish colonies in Mexico and South America?

The biggest differences is in how the three treated the Native Americans. The French treated Native Americans with more respect and many French lived with the natives. They traded with them and had good relationships. The British thought of the Native Americans as a problem from the start and felt that they should leave the land to the British. They did their best to kill them or drive them out of their native areas. The Spanish were even worse. They enslaved the Native Americans that they encountered. The missions they set up still have the mass graves of the Natives that worked on the missions grounds.

The British Parliament passed the British North America Act (now the Constitution Act), which created Canada as a new country on July 1, 1867.Prior to that date, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada were separate British colonies.One of the reasons for Confederation was that the British colonies in North America were becoming quite expensive for Britain to maintain. Far more money flowed from Britain to British North America than the colonies sent to Britain.Canada achieved its independence peacefully. There was no war involved.
