Spunky lunks colonization project
Hello! Welcome to my blog! Today i will be chatting about my Colonization project, a project which includes a video, some information and a few other interesting things i can’t think of off the top of my head! Let’s goooo
Now, the first thing we did for this project was choose our people to focus on. The indigenous people, the poor French men, the rich French men, the fil du roix, and the missionaries. I was chosen to do the Poor men. Wasn’t my first choice, i wanted to be rich men but its pretty close so it doesn’t really matter.
Now, i did a lot of research on the French men of New France! But this included doing research on some other parties, mainly the rich French men (since they had the closest ties to the French poor men). I mainly did research on who was involved, what was basically what happened, and their viewpoint after a few years of new Frances existence.
Next, we talked about the consequences of colonization. You may already know this already, but there were a lot of consequences to colonization. It was especially bad for the indigenous peoples. They were effected greatly from the French men coming to New France, in good and bad ways (but mainly bad).
here are a few more examples of what I’ve been doing for the past few weeks.
Due to the colonization of Canada, there are a lot less indeginous people than there would be had it never been colonized. All of Canada would likely be indeginous people, but due to the fact most of the earlier generation indigenous people had… died, they are lesser seen then they ordinarily would be ( had their land not been blatantly taken ). It was a good thing for many of the Europeans, due to the fact they were getting new opportunities for work, but it was kind of bad for the rich men of France, due to the fact that the poor men wer asking so much to work ( but the rich men were also kind of making more, so it’s a good and bad kind of thing ).
The poor Europeans of France had a tough time living in New France at first, but after a while of trading and “befriending” the indigenous peoples, they got the hang of it. The main problem that the poor French men had, though, was the problem of how cold it was in New France. It was cold, and they hadn’t assumed the climate was any different. This is what caused many of the poor men’s deaths in New France.
Not all was bad for the rich French men, though. They didn’t have to do any labor, and all they had to do was pay their workers. The missionaries were having a field day in New France, due to how many non-Christians there were. Once more schools were built in New France ( a way in a future ) they were pretty much everywhere. You couldn’t take a walk in the park without seeing at least 2 missionaries. But, though this was very good for the Europeans, it wasn’t so great to their indeginous neighbours. When the fille du roi came to New France, their life was hard. They weren’t sure who or where they were going to be stuck with. In t`he long run, they did do their jobs successfully, starting families and living. In fact, some fille du roi families are still alive today in Canada! So the fille du roi did their jobs pretty well.
