Question: How did the economic motivations of these three European nations (British, French, and Spanish) impact their relationships with the Native Americans?

French colonies were sparsely settled and were used mainly as ways to trade with the Indians for furs. Along with new plants and animals, Europeans also brought deadly diseases.
