the spanish french and english attempted to maintain control of the area they had settled in what way did these countries handle land competition differently

How did English colonists differ from Spanish or French colonists? Spanish and French colonists were only going to the Americas for fur trades, gold, and silver. England went there to get religious freedom and land. Spanish developed extractive industries in precious metals, whereas English were more likely to establish economies based on trade. More royal control over Spanish colonies than English because English was settled to escape political and religious persecution. The British, who were present in large numbers, sometimes treated the Native Americans harshly and allowed settlers to take Native American lands. However, the French, with fewer settlers, wanted the Native Americans as allies.
