How did the economic activites of the french differ from those of the English?

The economic activities of the French and English during the colonial period differed primarily in their approaches to trade and land use. The French focused on fur trading and established strong alliances with Indigenous peoples, emphasizing a more integrated and cooperative economic model. In contrast, the English prioritized agriculture and permanent settlement, leading to the establishment of plantations and a more extractive economy. These differing priorities influenced their colonial strategies and relationships with Native populations.
