in 3-5 sentences compare and contrast the ways Spanish, French, and English colonizers interacted with Indigenous peoples in North America by describing their relationships
Spanish colonizers in North America were often brutal and exploitative towards Indigenous peoples, seeking to convert them to Christianity and extract resources. French colonizers, on the other hand, often formed alliances with Indigenous peoples for mutual benefit in the fur trade and worked to preserve their cultural autonomy. English colonizers had a complex relationship with Indigenous peoples, sometimes engaging in trade and alliances, but also frequently pushing them off their lands through forced removal and violence. Overall, while all three groups sought to exert control over Indigenous peoples, the French were generally more respectful and collaborative in their interactions compared to the Spanish and English.
