| | |  History of New France: Encyclopedia II - Pre-Confederation history of Canada - The timber tradeAs the fur trade declined in importance the timber trade became Canada's most important commodity. The industry became concentrated in three main regions. The first to be exploited was the St. John River system. Trees in the still almost deserted hinterland of New Brunswick were cut and transported to St. John where they were shipped to England. This area soon could not keep up with demand and the trade moved to the St. Lawrence River where logs were shipped to Quebec City before being sent on to Europe. This area also became insufficient an ...

| | | | History of New France: Encyclopedia II - History of Quebec - New France 1534–1759 Quebec was part of the territory of New France, the general name for the North American possessions of France until 1763.

| | | | History of New France: Encyclopedia II - Pre-Confederation history of Canada - French vs. English The French were well established in Canada, while Britain had control over the Thirteen Colonies to the south as well as control over Hudson Bay. The English, however, with greater financial power and a larger navy, were consistently in a better position to defend and expand their colonies than the French. The French government gave very little support to their colonists in New France and the colonists, for the most part, had to fend for themselves. Thus in the long series of Anglo-French wars which dominated the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the French steadily lost ground. Quebec City i ...

| | | | History of New France: Encyclopedia II - Pre-Confederation history of Canada - Responsible government and the Rebellions of 1837-38 After the War of 1812, the first half of the 19th century saw the growth of political reform movements in both Upper and Lower Canada, largely influenced by American and French republicanism. The colonial legislatures set out by the Constitutional Act had become dominated by wealthy elites, the Family Compact in Upper Canada and the Château Clique in Lower Canada. The moderate reformers, such as Robert Baldwin and Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine, argued for a more representational form of government which they called "responsible government." By ...

| | | | History of New France: Encyclopedia II - Pre-Confederation history of Canada - The American Revolution In 1775 American revolutionaries attempted to push their insurrection into Quebec. The Canadiens did not support the revolution, preferring British protection under the Quebec Act to certain assimilation under an American government. The Americans took the towns of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Montreal and laid siege to Quebec City. An attempt to take the city on the night of New Year's Eve 1775 failed, and the Americans were driven from Quebec in 1776.
The American Revolution also led to the arrival of thousands of Loyalists ( ...

| | | | History of New France: Encyclopedia II - Pre-Confederation history of Canada - New France After Champlain's founding of Quebec City in 1608 it became the capital of New France. While the coastal communities were based upon the cod fishery, the economy of the interior revolved around beaver fur which was the rage in Europe. French voyageurs would travel into the hinterlands and trade with the natives. The voyageurs ranged throughout what is today Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba trading guns, gun powder, textiles and other European manufacturing goods with the natives for furs. The fur trade only encouraged a small population, ...

These hunter-gatherer Paleo-Indian ancestors of today's Canadian First Nations spread throughout Canada, adapting themselves to the various surroundings. The First Nations cultures that developed vary from the Cree in northern Quebec, to the Haida and Salish on the Pacific coast, to the Iroquois in the Saint Lawrence River valley, to the Beothuks in Newfoundland, and the Mi'kmaq of the Maritimes.

| | | | History of New France: Encyclopedia II - History of Quebec - Early French Exploration 1524–1607 The history of the French exploration in America could be said to have started before 1524. Indeed, in 1508, only 16 years after the first voyage of Christopher Columbus, Thomas Aubert who was probably part of a fishing trip near Newfoundland, brought back a few Amerindians to France. This indicates that in the early 16th century, French navigators ventured in the gulf of the St. Lawrence, along with the Basques and the Spaniards who did the same.
Also, Jacques Cartier wrote in his journal that when he made his first contacts with the ...

The Vikings may have travelled the coast from Labrador to Nova Scotia, and possibly even further south, but they were soon forced to abandon their colony due to attacks from an unknown native group and the poor quality of the soil in the area they settled.
Fleets from all of the Atlantic nations came to the Grand Banks off the coast of Newfoundland in the 15th centu ...
