I've read here and there about the treatment Indigenous Peoples in America by various European colonial powers. One consistent theme seems to be that England and Spain had no regard for the lives of the natives, whereas France seemed to have a more standoffish approach. Was this due to the differing ambitions of these nations (i.e. colonization and resources in the case of England and Spain and just resources in the case of France) or did it have more to do with the culture of the colonial powers themselves? Was the French attitude towards those different from them less hostile than that of England and Spain?
