Chapter 1 – Population and Settlement Review Mr. Wilson History 404
High Birth Rate • High life expectancy • Low infant mortality rate • High immigration • Low emigration Name two things that contribute to population growth?
Low birth rate • Low life expectancy • High infant mortality rate • Low immigration • High emigration Name two things that contribute to a decrease in the population?
80% urban • 20% rural • Why? • Better education • Better chance at finding work • More “entertainment” The majority of Quebec’s population lives where and why?
Before the arrival of the Europeans, the natives divided themselves based on their various lifestyles (culture, language, geography, etc.)Who were the three main nations living in Quebec and describe how each of them had different lifestyles. • Iroquois • Algonquian • Inuit
The Iroquois (sedentary – agriculturalists) would trade with the Algonquians (nomadic – hunter/gatherers) in order to get “the best of both worlds.” • The Iroquois usually had surplus food from the harvest and the Algonquians usually had furs from the interior. • It was a Win-Win situation. How did they use these differences to their advantages when trading with each other?
The fastest transportation in those days was by ship or canoe. • Therefore, the best location if you were interested in trade would naturally be on the water-ways. • The river was also extremely useful for things like… Why were the first French settlements located along the St-Laurence River?
Soldiers • Les Engagés • Clergy • Professionals • Craftsmen • Fur Traders Name 6 different occupations practiced by the first French colonists.
War • Slavery • Disease • Loss of land • Removal of culture List as many negative consequences of the French colonization of the Amerindian people as you can.
He started by creating the Company of One Hundred Associates and gave them the contract to populate his colony. • With Jean-Talon they also created the Birth Incentives policy. • And they instituted the plan for Les Filles du Roi. • They also kept retired soldiers and there was Les Engages. How did King Louis intend to populate his new colony?
More people = more money. • The greater the population of his colony, the greater the trade or production. • Thus, the more money France would make off of the colony. Why was Louis so interested in increasing the population of New France?
The Elite • Professionals, Aristocrats, the Bourgeoisie • The Clergy • Bishops, priests, nuns, monks, etc. • The People • Famers, craftsmen, labourers, small merchants, servants and slaves. What were the 3 main social groups and which one made up the majority of the colony’s population?
It was exciting and rough. • You stood the chance at making a lot of money (if you survived!) • You could also get your own land – a better opportunity for your future children? • The opportunities in France were very limited. Why were there so many men willing to immigrate to New France?
The Seigneurial system, with long pieces of land so that everyone could have access to the water. • When a seigneurie was big enough, it usually got a church and a name (St-whatever-de-whatever…) How did the French organize land distribution within the colony?
The American Revolution. • This led to thousands of Loyalists fleeing to the north. • This of course had a major impact on the French speaking population that was still living there! What happened in 1775 that had a huge impact on the population of Canada?
It created a lot of social tensions between the French and the English, who had very little in common. • Politically, the French were suddenly not such a huge population and therefore were not as scary. How did this influx of new settlers from the South have an impact on the social and political differences in Canada?
The Potato Famine in Great Britain. • Thousands of Scottish and Irish people fled Britain for the colonies, in the hopes of finding work, land, and maybe a brighter future. What happened in 1847 that led to a large Scottish and Irish immigration into Canada?
Canada started pushing for more immigration out West, with incentives like land, money, etc. • At this point a lot of Quebecers started to get fed up with the living conditions in the “Old Country” and started leaving. After the Confederation and the completion of the Canadian Pacific railway, what was Canada’s immigration plan for the west?
This mass exodus from Quebec went on for quite some time. • It only stopped during the Great Depression because there were literally no jobs ANYWHERE, so leaving was not really an option. Why were so many Quebecers emmigrating during the mid-1800’s until the 1930’s? Why did it finally stop?
Mostly white, western European immigrants. • Why? At the time, discrimination was common and considered acceptable by most people. What kind of immigrants was Canada interested in during the early contemporary period?
Canada’s policy was one of assimilation. • The Indian population was disregarded and institutionalized with the intention of cultural genocide. • It was not a pretty time for Canadians. What was Canada’s policy for the Natives at this time?
