French Settlement

Explain how the fur trade affected the French and the Indians in North America. Explain how and why Quebec was founded. Describe the French expansion in Louisiana. Objectives

Terms and People Northwest Passage – a supposed water route to Asia through the cold waters of present-day Canada Quebec – first permanent European settlement in Canada Samuel de Champlain – Quebec’s founder coureurs de bois – French fur traders who married Indian women metis – children of French and Indian marriages

How did France’s American colonies differ from Spain’s American colonies? Seeing Spain’s wealth from its American colonies, other European nations established colonies in the Americas. France established trading settlements in present-day Canada, along the St. Lawrence River, and in what is now Louisiana.

French explorers sought a Northwest Passage to Asia. The French king claimed many of the lands they explored in their quest. Explorers for FranceArea explored Giovanni da Verrazano From present-day North Carolina to Maine Jacques CartierSt. Lawrence River area Robert de LaSalleMississippi basin Louis Joliet and Father Jacques Marquette Great Lakes, Mississippi basin

Fur traders and Jesuit missionaries settled France’s colonies in what is now Canada.

The French sold the beaver pelts for high prices in Europe. Commerce was the dominant activity in the French colonies. Fur was scarce in Europe and the French traded with the Indians for valuable beaver pelts.

In exchange for the fur, the Indians got metal items such as arrowheads, axes, knives, hatches, and kettles. Indians trap beaver pelts Indians trade fur to French Indians get metal items French sell fur in Europe American Indians had never developed metal or iron items, and they eagerly traded fur pelts for anything metal.

Characteristics of a French Colony The French took little land because they were mostly fur traders and fishermen, not farmers. The French did not enslave Indians because they traded with Indians for beaver pelts. French fur traders married Indian women and raised families. The French king appointed a military governor-general to govern colony. The king did not permit an elected assembly.

Warfare broke out. The Indians who had metal weapons won the wars. Soon all Indian groups wanted to trade with the French for metal weapons. Because Indians hunted for a foreign market, rather than their own subsistence, they invaded hunting territories of other Indian groups. The market relationship between the French and Indians eventually caused conflicts.

Warfare also broke out among French fur traders as they competed to get more fur to sell in Europe. Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec on the St. Lawrence River in 1608 for protection. Quebec was the first permanent European settlement in Canada.

Guided by Indians, Robert de LaSalle sailed south on the Mississippi looking for the Northwest Passage in Instead, he discovered the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River basin. He claimed the area for France and named it Louisiana, after King Louis XIV.

Strengths of New Orleans Weaknesses of New Orleans Became France’s leading seaport and largest town in Americas. Located at tip of Louisiana, it was a valuable military base that protected French control of Mississippi watershed. Economy provided only trading with Indians or growing poor quality tobacco. Swampy landscape and hot climate promoted deadly diseases such as dysentery and malaria, and many colonists died. In 1718, the French founded New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi River.

The French formed alliances with Indian groups throughout its colonies. The French became allies with Indian groups in the Louisiana district. This helped them stop English expansions into the west and south.
