Book Description
Excerpt from Louisbourg, From Its Foundation to Its Fall, 1713-1758 Louisbourg, as the seat of French power on the coast of the North Atlantic, occupied, during the few years of its existence, a unique position. Contrasts between the progress of Canada and that of adjacent British colonies frequently have been made. It has been overlooked that the people of Louisbourg successfully met the competition of their neighbours in the greatest industry in which both were engaged. Its development illustrates the action of economic forces many years before the statement of their laws by Adam Smith met with general acceptance. The captures of the town, both in 174 5 and 1758, connect its history with the general course of events, which, slowly preparing in the preceding years, culminated in the latter half of the eighteenth century with such far - reaching consequences to France and the British Empire.

In Search of Empire
Author: James Pritchard
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 518
Book Description
Elusive Empire is the first full account of how during 1670 and 1730 French settlers came to the Americas. It examines how they and thousands of African slaves together with Amerindians constructed settlements and produced and traded commodities for export. Bringing together much new evidence, the author explores how the newly constructed societies and new economies, without precedent in France, interacted with the growing international violence in the Atlantic world in order to present a fresh perspective of the multifarious French colonizing experience in the Americas.
