How did the England people treat the natives?

Answer 1

The correct answer is when the English got to the Americas, particularly North America, they encountered not only the native people but also the other europeans such as the Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Dutch.The French forged close ties with the Natives deep inside the continent. French Jesuit missionaries were among the first to establish contacts with two people. (Although it was more of an indian enterprise) The main beneficial (economic wise) thing for the French was the Fur Trade ( coureurs de Bois= fur traders) It developed into a bartering system and eventually they became part of Native Society. The French didn't come to America to colonize or use violence, they came for fur and fish, while finding those they made friends with the Natives. On the other hand, the British came to America to establish colonies=, they wanted the competition. Since the English held the worlds best and largest navy, acquiring new lands would be to their advantage. They had no intention of friendship with the Natives and had a conquistador(Spanish) attitude. They were harsh to the natives, and made them endure harsh treatment.
