French settlers came to America primarily for reasons such as the fur trade, seeking new agricultural opportunities, and spreading Christianity through missionary work.

The English had more settlers in North America compared to the French. By the time of the American Revolution, the English colonies had become populous, with millions of settlers, while the French maintained a smaller presence, primarily concentrated in Canada and certain parts of Louisiana.
