What were the major differences between Spanish and French efforts to colonize in the Americas?
At least in the Louisiana Territory, the French and Spanish efforts differed. The French were trying to connect a Canadian and Northern territory to the gulf. This would provide them with supplies through the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mississippi. The Spanish however, took a more militaristic approach. The Territory for them was a defensive position. The colonization of the French did not go as well, due to oppresive slavery, bad equipment, and low immigration numbers to the Territory. The Spanish faired better due to less oppressive slavery (slaves could actually buy themselves out of slavery) and an open door immigration act. It should be noted that while this immigration act allowed the spanish to jump into the territory in huge numbers, this allowed for the seeds of its demise to be sowed as well. The Americans allowed into the territories were still identifying with the original 13 colonies, and tried to hold onto their pride and rights even in the Spanish controlled territory.
