The French in North America
Read the passage
When Europeans first came to North America, they created new settlements called colonies. A colony is
a territory of land that is controlled by another country. The earliest colonists in Canada came from
France. The French were the first imperial power to have a lasting impact on the identity of Canada.
France, England, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands looked to India, China, Japan, and Indonesia to
obtain spices, tea, silk, porcelain, and precious gems. To bring these goods home, the Europeans
travelled a route known as the Silk Road. France wanted to find an ocean passage to Asia in the mid-
1500s. The king, François I, was determined that his people should find a route before the other
countries of Europe. The French decided to start their search by exploring North America. The king of
France sent a French sea captain named Jacques Cartier to find a passage through North America to
Asia. In July 1534. Cartier landed at a place he called Gaspé. We know as the Gaspé Peninsula. In1542
Cartier planned to set up a colony along the St. Lawrence River, although he was not able to establish a
permanent colony in North America. By the early 1600s, the demand for furs in Europe was growing.
The French king. Louis XIII, decided that France should build a colony in North America. Then they
would have access to the supply of furs. Another reason the French returned to North America was that
he wanted to be the most powerful ruler in Europe. To reach his goal, he needed to expand France's
colonial empire. The king granted a trade monopoly to a group of merchants. In return, the merchants
agreed to build settlements in North America and find French citizens to live-in them. In 1604, a French
nobie named Pierre de Monts received a monopoly. He sailed to North America to set up a
colony. In 1605; de Monts established a settlement at Port Royal on the Bay of Fundy. The French called
the area Acadia, more and more French people came to Acadia. They survived through farming, fishing,
and hunting. These French pioneers formed a unique community and culture. They were the first
Acadians​
