1 The French Period

2 The Beginning On June 29 th 1534 Jacques Cartier arrived on the Island. He explored for two days from Malpeque to Tignish. Cartier commented on the lack of good harbors. Cartier stated that it was the most beautiful land possible to see but never named the Island.

3 The settlement of the island along with other French possessions was left to private individuals. The private sector however was looking to make a quick profit on their investment. For this reason many of the French settlement attempts would fail. The Beginning

4 The Beginning In 1604 Ile St. Jean (most likely named by Samuel de Champlain) was included in a land grant to Sieur des Monts. He was to develop a fishery and settle pioneers but spent most of his time on mainland Acadia and ignored the island.

5 The Beginning In 1653 the island was granted to Nicholas Denys. He would visit the island and write a book describing the land and the Micmac who inhabited it. He would not, however, establish a permanent settlement and the island would be transferred to another individual named Sieur Francois Doublet.

6 Acadia Acadia was founded in 1604 by Samuel de Champlain and consisted of the whole of the Maritimes. The capital was at Port Royale and from 1604 to 1670 immigrants flooded into the area establishing successful farms along the rivers and inlets.

7 Acadia The French and English had long been at war in Europe and those wars were now spreading to the New World. In 1713 France lost the War of Spanish Succession and according to the treaty of Utrecht, would lose mainland Acadia and Newfoundland but would keep Ile Royale, Ile St. Jean, and Quebec.

8 Louisbourg In 1713, to protect their remaining possessions the French would build the super fortress, Louisbourg on Ile Royale. Built on what is now Cape Breton Island it would guard the mouth of the St. Lawrence which served as the gateway to New France (Quebec.)

9 The Acadians After 1713 and the loss of mainland Acadia the Acadians were encouraged by the French government to move to Isle Royale or Isle St. Jean. Compte de St.Pierre convinced some Acadians to move to Isle St. Jean in 1719 with the plan of using the Island to supply food to Louisbourg.

10 Ile St. Jean

11 Settlement on the Island Michel-Hache Gallant arrived on the Island in 1719 from Amherst to be the first permanent settler on Isle St. Jean. Michel-Hache Gallant is the ancestor to all of the Gallants on the Island today.

12 St. Pierre In August of 1720 St. Pierre would arrive on the Island with 250 settlers from France and settled at Port la Joye ( present day Charlottetown Harbour). The first things they did were clear land, build a few rough houses and create a place for a cemetery.

13 Early Settlement People would spread to St. Pierre, Tracadie, Malpeque, Savage Harbor, Trois Riviers, Pisquid, and South Lake. In 1725 St. Pierre would get his grant revoked for not meeting the conditions of his lease. He was replaced by a French Governor named DePensens who brought a garrison of 30 French soldiers to protect the Island from invasion.

14 Life For Early French Settlers Isle St. Jean was covered with dense old forest. It would be 3-5 years before enough land could be cleared to grow crops. The settlers came unprepared for the hardships of pioneer life. Many had never cleared land and did not even have axes or saws with them. Stumps were almost impossible to remove from the ground and would be planted around during cropping season.

15 Life For Early French Settlers The early Islanders grew wheat,peas and oats and raised oxen, cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. They ate; pea soup, bread, porridge, salted beef, pork, mutton, poultry, maple syrup, garden vegetables, fish, and wild game.

16 Questions 1. Date Jacques Cartier landed on the island. 2. The island was given in a land grant to this man in He was to do these two things according to his lease In 1653 the Island was granted to this man. 6. Acadia was founded by this man. 7. The capital of Acadia.

17 Questions 8. War that ended in Treaty that ended the war. 10. Land kept by the French in the Maritimes Fortress built by the French. 13. Convinced Acadians to settle on the Island in First permanent settler on the island. 15. The island s first capital.

18 Questions 16. Seven places settled on the island by the French In 1725 this man would become Governor of the island.

19 Questions 24. It took this long to clear a piece of land. 25. These were almost impossible to remove from the ground. 26. Three things early islanders ate

20 Jean-Pierre Roma Jean-Pierre Roma and three partners formed the Company of the East and were granted the eastern part of the Island. Roma was given the task of settling 80 people the first year and 30 every year after or his company would lose the grant.

21 Jean-Pierre Roma In 1732 Roma arrived on the Island with 300 people. Within a year he cleared 40 acres of land, built 9 houses, leveled the shoreline, built 2 piers, planted vegetable gardens, and cut roads through the woods to Port la Joye. Roma had 5 fishing and merchant boats that he used for trading to Quebec and the Caribbean

22 Jean-Pierre Roma Roma s partners were becoming impatient with the lack of profits and blamed Roma. They claimed he crushed settlement enthusiasm with his tough work ethic which was probably true. Roma believed in working so hard that he passed a law that work was to continue on Sunday the priests of the settlement objected so he fired them

23 Jean-Pierre Roma would not just have to deal with whining priests and partners but also mice, fires and sinking ships and an inability to attract more settlers. The final blow would come when the English would invade in 1745 and burn the settlement to the ground.

24 The Oath of Loyalty After the English captured Acadia in 1713 they wondered where the Acadians loyalty would lie the next time war broke out between France and England. In 1744 the War of Austrian Succession broke out and England and France were once again at war. In 1745 a group of New England militia captured Louisbourg much to the surprise of the French and the English.

25 The Oath of Loyalty In 1748 the War of Austrian Succession would end and according to the treaty of Aix-la- Chappelle, Ile St Jean and Ile Royale would be handed back to France. The English would decide to establish a presence in Acadia permanently by establishing a fortress on Chebucto Bay.

26 The Oath of Loyalty In 1749 General Cornwallis would begin the construction of Halifax and life for the Acadians would become increasingly difficult. From the English would pressure the Acadians to take an oath of loyalty swearing the allegiance to the English Crown. The Acadians would have a difficult time signing this as they were also accepting a monarch who was also the head of the church (Anglican). The Acadians who did not sign were deported in A total of 6,000 from mainland Acadia.

27 The Deportation In 1755 the English knew war was on the horizon and worried about Acadian loyalty. An incident involving Acadians at Fort Beausejour made the English believe the Acadians could not be trusted. In October of 1755 The British began loading Acadians aboard ships leaving for Louisiana, and France. A total of 6,000 Acadians were deported from mainland Acadia.

28 The Deportation The Seven Year War began in 1756 and the population on the Island escalated from 3,000 to 4,500 and by 1758 it reached 4,700. In August of 1758 Lord Rollo arrived on the Island after the fall of Louisbourg with orders to deport the entire population of the Island. 3,000 Acadians were deported out of 5,000 as some families hid in the woods. Two ships the Violet and the Duke William sunk on their voyage to France and most of the Acadians on the other ships died from disease aboard their ships.

49 Answers Settling 80 people the first year and 30 every year after. This failed because a) partners were becoming impatient with the lack of profit, b) crushed settlement enthusiasm with tough work ethic, c) passed a law that work was to continue on Sunday, priest objected and were fired, d) Mice, e) fires, f) sinking ships, & g) inability to attract more settlers.

50 The Acadians had always been neutral until the Battle at Fort Beausejour, when they fought against the English. The English didn t know where the Acadian s loyalty lay. Acadians would not swear to the Oath of Loyalty, therefore they moved to the Island and the population here rose.

51 It was the French s main fort and it was located on the mouth of the St. Lawrence The Acadians fled into the woods and hid. Some Acadians went to Quebec.
