Detailed explanation-1: -Why were many Native American tribes interested in aligning with the French during the French and Indian War to overthrow the British? The British were more aggressive in their land grabs than the French. The French promised to return stolen land to Native Americans.
Detailed explanation-2: -The French had far more American Indian allies than the English because they were more successful at converting the various tribes to Christianity and they focused more on trading than on settling North America, so the American Indians saw them as less of a threat to their land and resources.
