The Drive to Settle
- British colonies in today's United States grew at a rapid rate compared to the growth in New France.
- Fearing Britain would attempt to take control of New France and expand its territory in North America, the French monarchy pushed to settle the region.
- More French settlers in the area meant it would be harder for the British to take over.
The Seigneurial System
- Large lots of land were given to seigneurs (land lords) who were in charge of bringing in habitants (peasant farmers) to work the land.
- The lots were divided off into many long thin strips of land to be given to the habitants as they settled in the area.
- Most strips of land ended at the river to give everyone equal access to the water (needed for drinking, transportation, farming)
Challenge
1) Use the DUTIES page to research 6 responsibilities of the seigneurs and habitants. You can use resources from the classroom or online
