How did English colonists differ from Spanish or French colonists?

English colonists often sought to establish permanent settlements and cultivate agricultural communities, emphasizing individual land ownership and self-governance, which led to the development of representative assemblies. In contrast, Spanish and French colonists typically focused on extraction of resources and trade, with the Spanish prioritizing conversion of Indigenous populations to Christianity and the French establishing alliances with Native Americans for fur trading. Additionally, English colonization was characterized by a larger influx of settlers seeking economic opportunities, while the Spanish and French colonies relied more on a smaller number of settlers and intermarriage with Indigenous peoples.
