The most accurate comparison of French and Portuguese approaches to colonization in the Americas is:
The French cooperated with Indigenous peoples to profit from the fur trade, while the Portuguese conquered Indigenous peoples and imported enslaved peoples from Africa to work on sugar plantations.
This response reflects the different strategies employed by the two colonial powers: the French often engaged in trade relationships with Indigenous peoples, particularly in the fur trade, while the Portuguese focused on establishing plantations, especially in Brazil, relying heavily on enslaved African labor.
