  2. Prompt:Evaluate the influence of religion on the development of colonial society in New England and New France. 4

  3. New France (1608 - 1763) In 1608, Samuel de Champlain created the first truly permanent French settlement in the area around where Québec City stands today. It was a small settlement, no more than 60 colonists lived here by 1620. In 1663, New France suddenly undertook a period of extensive expansionism.  Jean-Baptiste Colbert, a leading minister in France, particularly believed in  compact settlements.

  4. New England After enduring many persecutions this little band of Christians, who now became "Pilgrims," escaped with difficulty from their native land to Amsterdam, Holland.The pilgrims did not think that Holland was there home, but when they heard of the colony Virginia they wanted to go to the New World.

  5. Document A The Primer supplemented the picture of Rogers' immolation with a long, versified speech, said to be the dying martyr's advice to his children, which urged them to "Keep always God before your Eyes" and to "Abhor the arrant Whore of Rome, and all her Blasphemies." This recommendation, read by generations of young New Englanders, doubtless helped to fuel the anti-Catholic prejudice that flourished in that region well into the nineteenth century.

  6. Document B Criminal laws in the early New England colonies were based on the scriptures, especially the Old Testament. Many civil laws and procedures were modelled after the English common law.

  7. Document C "God requireth not an uniformity of Religion to be inacted and inforced in any civill state; which inforced uniformity (sooner or later) is the greatest occasion of civill Warre, ravishing of conscience, persecution of Christ Jesus in his servants, and of hypocrisy and destruction of millions of souls."   -Former Puritan leader Roger Williams (1603-1683)

  9. Document E

  10. Document F In the absence of appropriate state institutions which will have to await the establishment of Royal Government in 1663, the Church not only assumed the functions ordinarily devoted to it in Catholic France but, as well, those attributed to the state properly.

  11. Document G The Huguenots were, in fact, among the most progressive of the early traders and settlers who came to Canada . But the danger of religious strife in the colony, such as that which had rent the mother country with civil war, was perhaps such that the French government wished to eliminate it; possibly, also, the Huguenots had proved too independent of royal control. “

  12. Document H Religion was a very important aspect of French culture in these early stages of colonization. Throughout these stages, French Jesuits and Ursalines commissioned by King Louis XIII played a major role in developing religion in New France.
