The English invested in the America’s by sending boats of settlers over, while the French’s primary interest was exploration and new trade routes. This made England the stronger, and more able of the two, surviving up until the revolution over 150 years later. ]]> 2021-09-17 15:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749013194 https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749016964 Although both nations engaged in Evangelism, their economic persuits and attitude twards natives were drastically different.

However, the fact that both nations were invested in spreading catholic beliefs and the similar number of colonists, both of which had priests, suggests otherwise. Therefore, the French and Spanish colonies in North America were not much different from one another.]]> 2021-09-17 15:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749022599 Thesis https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749023437 Both the English and the Spanish sought to explore the New World to demonstrate and expand their global power. However, the inhumane treatment of the Natives through slavery and evangelism by the Spanish compared to the more tolerant relations of the Natives with the English, as well as the lack of a large number of permanent settlements in Spanish controlled territories compared to large towns and farm in English controlled areas, highlights the drastic differences between the two colonies. Therefore, despite similar motives, there were greater differences between the English and Spanish colonies. ]]> 2021-09-17 15:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749023437 Thesis https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749025198 The Spanish and French both tried to introduce the natives to their own religions.

However, the Spanish came over and took the opportunity to convert and put a caste system in place, while the French came over and traded and learned from the natives. Therefore, the French and Spanish colonies are not alike. https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749026347 2021-09-17 15:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749026347 Although they weren't as forceful, the Catholic French after Spanish example tried to convert natives to the 'Holy Faith'; not unlike Spanish missionaries under the 'encomienda'. However, the motives for colonizing and the interactions with the natives varied greatly between the two nations in North America leading up to 1609. Therefore, despite having common religious beliefs, there were a greater number of differences between the two nations than similarities. https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749027891 2021-09-17 15:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749027891 23stewartp https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749029493 X.

The Spanish Conquistador's intentions of conquest produced a cruel and intolerant relationship with the Natives. However, both the Spanish and French shared the vie for profitable glory, and the goal of conversion to Catholicism. Therefore, the Spanish were more prosperous in their exploration and exploitation, while the French were successful in creating relationships with Native Americans.]]> 2021-09-17 15:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749029493 Thesis https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749029633 The Spanish and French colonies had many similarities in their colonies in the New World such as spreading Christianity and a goal of finding new land. However the Spanish interacted with the Natives in a harsh manner and their goal was assimilation, where the french's goal was to find new routes and explore, also the French's economic pursuit was found in the trade where the Spaniards found it in encomienda.

However, they both wanted to spread their religious beliefs on the Native Americans and use them for their resources and land.

However, the two powerful European nations had different ways of going about their goals, as they had opposing superior motives and maintained vastly different relations with the natives in order to extract what they wanted from them; consequently, in compliance with these differing motives.

However, the French took advantage of fur trade while the Spanish focussed more on conquering, leading them to have completely separate economic goals and the Spanish treatment of Native peoples vastly differed from the French.

However, both relied on the Natives of the area whether to help explore the territory, to feed themselves, to survive in an often-hostile environment, to spread their religion, to trade or to use as slaves.

However, due to Spain's excessive mistreatment of the natives compared to the French's treatment, in addition to Spain's forceful conversion of the native peoples to Christianity, the idea that the two countries did not share many similarities could make a better argument. ]]> 2021-09-17 15:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749035411 Thesis 22arnolda https://padlet.com/ipswichpublicschools/d266kmpbh3hx0q2h/wish/1749040144 French and Spain held various different interests such as the French's primary objective of trade versus Spain's focus of conquering materialistic goods.
