Question 14 • 670101 Oklahoma History & Government – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which of the following statements best describes the French in North America?

Answer
A
They showed little respect for American Indians.
B
They tried to convert American Indians to Christianity.
C
They tried to make alliances with American Indians.
D
They sent large expeditions in search of gold.

Explanation

French colonists and traders often depended on American Indian communities for the fur trade and for military support, so they worked to form alliances with them. Missionaries also tried to convert Indigenous people to Christianity, but making alliances best describes French relations overall. The correct choice is “They tried to make alliances with American Indians.”
