Contrasting How did Spanish and French relations with native peoples differ?

The Spanish were more harsh towards the natives, while the French were more friendly and tried to have good relationships with them.

Explanation:

The Spanish were very abusive to the natives. They enslaved them, abused them during this labor, and forcibly converted them to Catholicism.

They also were very harsh, calling the natives "savages" and "backwards," to justify that the Spanish needed to conquer their lands.

On the other hand, the French tried to establish friendly relationships with the natives. They wanted to be able to peacefully trade commodities like fur, so being allies with the natives was one of their main goals.

There was even some intermarriage between the French and the natives.
