What were the major differences between Spanish and French efforts to colonize the New world?
The main difference between France and Spain and their colonization of the Americas was how they treated the natives. Initially, Spain's reason for settling in the Americas was to acquire the gold, silver and precious gems that could be mined on these continents. The natives were initially treated as slaves, and this harsh treatment, coupled with the passing of European diseases to the natives, who had no immunity, decimated the population. The French treated the Native Americans very admirably. They entered business partnerships with them, treated them as equals, and had no qualms about intermarrying with the natives.
