Which of the following would NOT be considered a reason as to why the French often had more peaceful relations with Native Americans than did the English?

A. The French were more inclined to settle widely on native lands than the English or Spanish were.

B. There were fewer French colonists, and those who were there came to profit from the fur trade, which was mostly dependent on the goodwill of Native Americans.

C. Many French settlers came in hopes of converting Native Americans to Christianity-something that, for the most part, was done more peacefully than when the Spanish attempted to convert native people.

D. Most French settlers were single men who were more likely than Spanish and English colonists to intermarry with Native Americans.
