The imperial goals of the British and French were similar in North America.  Both were interested in agricultural and mineral resources and their maximum exploitation for improving their home fronts.  

The point of divergence emerges on how each wanted to achieve this resource exploitation and expropriation which are defined by interpersonal relationships.  The British did not respect or show kindness to the Native Americans.  They denied the natives their rights to land, freedom, health, and equality, but treated them as animals and not as human beings.  The British’s exploitation and expropriation of resources were as outsiders or at worst as sole and rightful owners, who kept everything for themselves.

On the other hand, the French exploited resources as co-owners with a sense of shared responsibility and benefits. The French , therefore, so respected the Native Americans that they loved, intermarried, procreated, and commingled with them and the Native Americans responded in kind.  This accords with the sayings that “respect is reciprocal" and "love begets love.”

Explanation:

The British mistreatment of the Native Americans can, in part, explain the relationship misunderstandings and the racial conundrums in present-day United States, where "co-outsiders-insiders" are discriminated against as totally strange outsiders with no sense of belonging.  Acceptance of the other is the starting point for cordial relationships.  Wherever prejudices are allowed to becloud our sense of humanness, there are always destructive instead of productive conflicts.
