France
France established colonies in the middle of North America from what is now Louisiana, north along the Mississippi, east to the Appalachian Mountains, and west to the Rocky Mountains. In addition they had the colony of Quebec in Canada.
The French set up small settlements through their vast colonial lands. They brought fur traders, trappers, missionaries, and men to farm food. The settlements included a church and some buildings for trade and housings. The French were more nomadic in their colonies because they were hunting animals for fur.
