French settlers came to America primarily for reasons such as the fur trade, seeking new agricultural opportunities, and spreading Christianity through missionary work. However, they did not come primarily for large-scale colonization or settlement in the same way as the English, as their focus was more on trade and alliances with Indigenous peoples rather than establishing extensive permanent settlements.
