New France and Canada, although are different in many ways, in speaking of political, religious, economic, and, social similarities and differences views, they are also quite similar as well. For example, both Canada and New France have somewhat equal rights for women, and we both have different positions of power in the political system.

Samuel de Champlain, who is referred to as the Father of New France, was born in the Brouage, Saintonge province, Western France. He was born to a protestant family around 1570.

New England and New France: Competing Visions for a New Society Not all colonial powers were equal. The French and the English (Puritans and Pilgrims), for example, differed in their justifications for colonization, how specific Native American tribes viewed them, and in their initial reasons for settling.

All the way back in the 800s, even before the world called it the 800s, a brand new political system, feudalism, arose. Popular in Europe, it very roughly revolved around the relationships and trading of land between the king and his lords in return for their service. Out of this new political system arose a whole new economical system– manorialism– which revolved around the lord's collecting peasants, called serfs, to create economy. Manorialism proved itself for the next 1000 years, until one
colonization of New France but none so much as the European leaders of expeditions and the chiefs of the native tribes. Though there are vast amounts native chiefs and European explorers who are significant to the contact and colonization of New France, the three I have decided to focus on are: Chief Membertou, Jacques Cartier, and Christopher Columbus. This page will explain these three individuals in detail and explain their significance to the contact and colonization of New France. Jacques Cartier

France has had a presence in North America since long before the birth of the United States. Most American history looks back at France's presence on the continent largely from the British side of events that occurred. W. J.

town of Deerfield, New England was finally raided on February 29th, 1704 and everything seemed to change.

Some residents were slaughtered and scalped, and only the fortunate successfully escaped. For many others, the less fortunate were held imprisoned and taken back to New France in Canada.

This has included numerous struggles and events such as protests, bans, and the creation of the Massey Commission, to encourage national development in the arts, and support major companies like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and National Film Board (NFB). However, this has not been an easy task for the Canadian government, as major influences from below the border (the United States) have been

It is universally acknowledged that national identity is the most important element for a country. Without a national identity, it is conceivable that the country will not be unique and completed. If we lose our national identity, we will lose everything within it, such as religion, culture, history, etc. There is no denying that Canadians have been struggling to obtain a unified sense of national identity since Confederation. To help Canadians build an accepted national identity, researcher has
history that adheres to the themes of militarism and monarchism (Abu-Laban 2013, 216). They sought to achieve this by creating amendments in the Museums Act which would change the name and mandate of the CMC, along with reallocating funding to create a new Canadian history exhibit that would take up half of the permanent exhibition space in the museum (Aroncyzk and Brady 2015, 170). It became even more apparent that the government played a large role in these changes when it was James Moore who announced
