Eric Schlosser starts with the scenery of Colorado Springs, how in just three decades it went from vast, open nature, to having fast food restaurants placed anywhere and everywhere readily accessible. A majority of land withholding pure nature and free roaming animals was a view to others, the opportunity to place mass fast food corporations. These mass fast food corporations have not only broadened the American’s average diet, it has also affected the landscape, culture, and the overall economy of America. The culture of the average citizen’s meal included going to the grocery store to buy food staples such as vegetables or meat, that were to be prepared later for homemade meals. Nowadays, the popular culture of American citizens is to hit

In the development of what is known today as Canada, during the Elizabethan era, there was a series was highly documented and, surprisingly, not well-known occurrences. The colonization of New France set the foundation for Canada. The early settlers grew as a nation while holding true to some teachings of the French. The French were originally on the search for an alternative route for Asia and instead stumbled upon what was soon to become their greatest achievement. The French set out to trade in Asia, but found ever-growing success from the new land, despite every complication.

The French People came to live in Canada in 1541 but they officially settled down there in 1604.

Jacques Cartier was a French explorer. In 1531 Jacques Cartier set out on an expedition to find the Northwest Passage. This was the same passage John Cabot looked for when he was trying to find a route through North America that led to the Pacific Ocean.

He sailed for over a month, eventually landing on an island that is now part of the Bahamas. He then sailed on and discovered Cuba, and thought it was China. Soon after, he landed on Hispaniola, believing it to be Japan. Here it was that the Santa Maria wrecked, and was scavenged to make the first European settlement in the Caribbean(Biography). This may be his most significant achievement, as it was likely the first European settlement in the Americas, and certainly the first not on the mainland. While some believe the Vikings settled in Canada, they almost certainly abandoned it after a short time(Klein). This opened the door to colonization of the Caribbean, with the Spanish taking Cuba, the British taking the Bahamas, and other nations such as France and the Netherlands controlling the rest of the Antilles and West Indies(Biography).

Frenchman, explored the Great Lakes and established the first French colony in North America at Quebec in 1608.

The story begins in March 1836, during the Battle of the Alamo, twenty-two years after the event depicted at the end of The Seekers, book three of the series. Amanda Kent, daughter of Gilbert Kent and Harriet Lebow, was among the women and children who survived the ensuing massacre.

Although the colonization of today’s Canada started in the 1600’s, the effects are still felt over 400 years later today throughout Aboriginal communities. John Cabot, an Italian explorer, was the first to explore Canada’s east coast in 1497 [CITE] while looking for a sea route to Asia. He brought word of this new land to Europe which brought other explorers to Canadian lands. Cabot claimed the area of land in eastern Canada for England and named it Newfoundland. Over 100 years later, in 1534, Jacques Cartier sailed up the St. Lawrence River and claimed that land for France. French Colonialists named this land New France. Some years later, in 1608, Samuel de Champlain built the first permanent French settlement which was later called Quebec.

He was not able to leave for this voyage until 1541 due to a delay caused by war in France. The king tasked a man named Roberval with colonizing the New World. Along with him, he sent out Jacques Cartier, who set out on his journey a few months ahead of Roberval and his crew. (History.com) Before Roberval arrived, Cartier had to go through another winter just as bad as before. He could not keep control of his crew , who later went on to anger the Iroquois yet gain. He founded a fort while waiting for his men to stay, thus making it the first French settlement in the New World. When he was in canada, he found many gemstones, of which he thought were diamonds and gold. Satisfied with his work, Cartier decided not to wait for Roberval and return to Saint Malo. On his way home, he encountered Roberval, who ordered Cartier to return to the settlement. Despite his orders, Cartier slipped away at night and began to sail home. When he got it back, he discovered that the gemstones he found were just worthless rocks. Without Cartier, Roberval had no more success, and abandoned the settlement and went home a few months after Cartier. King Francis 1 was extremely aggravated at their failure to even find riches, nevermind maintain a functioning colony in Canada. After back to back failures, Cartier was never sent on another voyage. (Britannica.com) Despite his failure to maintain it though, Cartier was still part of the first French settlement in

Chrétien Le Clercq, was a Recollect Franciscan friar and missionary to the Mi'kmaq on the Gaspé peninsula of Canada in the mid-17th century. He was a chronicler of New France, who wrote two early histories, and translator of a Native American language of that region, adapting an apparently indigenous mnemonic glyph system into a writing system known as Míkmaq hieroglyphic writing. In the spring of 1676 he visited the Gaspé Indians; he spent the summer with the Micmacs of Restigouche, and in September he went to Nipisiguit (Bathurst, N.B.). In January 1677 he visited Miramichi; travelling with a Frenchman and two Indians, he became lost and was almost dead of cold and hunger when an Indian, who happened to be passing, helped him. The Micmacs

“New France was not merely the settlement of a few fur traders.” The Acadians were “a pastoral-like people who once formed a proud nation in a land called Acadia.” Although falling under the jurisdiction of “New France,” the Acadians governed separately than the rest of the country and were an independent entity within New France. Today, “the Acadians are the French speaking population of the Canadian Maritime provinces,” and these are the Acadians that were not displaced during the expulsions, under British rule. Acadia’s beginnings, with the construction of Port Royal, could have marked the colony for success, but instead, led to a troubling conclusion for the European descendents. Through failed leadership, two

Religion was a major part of New France. Religion had brought several job opportunities for young people and had provided health care, education and help for the less fortunate. According to the missionaries, religion had also “cured” many people of different faith and belief. Overall, religion was responsible for taking care of the Europeans and the First Nations who converted. Before the collapse of Quendake, Jesuits had taken over the Recollets’ work and had designed a mission where they would convert several Ouendats. According to page number 31 of the textbook, “The main purpose of the mission was to convert First Nations people to Catholicism.” These missionaries believed that God had sent them here for a purpose. They wanted to
