France sent explorers to North America to find a water route that would lead to Asia.
In 1534, French explorer Jacques Cartier explored the St. Lawrence River.
In 1608, French explorer Samuel de Champlain sailed up the St. Lawrence. He built a small fort called Quebec. Fishing and fur trading with natives developed.
French got along well with natives. They didn't make natives Americans slaves, as the Spanish had done. The trading help make France a rich country.
