Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The reason the Indians were involved in the French and Indian War was because the British were taking control over their land. They were upset that the Americans were listening to British orders and giving them less and less land to live on.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main reason is that they did not try to change the Natives. They also did not compete with the Natives for land.
Detailed explanation-4: -Why did most Native Americans support the French rather than the British? In general, the Native Americans saw the French as less of a threat. Fewer French people in North America were building perma-nent settlements and taking Native American lands. The French also treated the Native Americans with more respect.
