Civilopedia:
When the French started to colonize America, by a man named Jacques Cartier, a French explorer, they have landed in the St. Lawrence River, and planted a cross in the Gaspé in 1534, and claim the territory in the name of the king of France. The territory was known as La Nouvelle-France, New-France. At that time, the territory of Modern day Quebec was called Canada. The royalty of France didnt care much about this new found land, until the year 1627. After 1627, King Louis XIII of France introduced the seigneurial system and forbade settlement in New France by anyone other than Roman Catholics, ensuring that welfare and education was kept firmly in the hands of the church. New France became a royal province in 1663 under Louis XIV and the intendant Jean Talon. The Québecois were mainly hunter and trader (who traded with Indian Tribes) and The French claimed a large proportion of North America. The French-Settler wasnt numerous in America, and with a large territory, it was difficult to protect. With the constant war between France and Britain, New-France was in constantly in war against their English neighbors. Through many war, France gave their colony in North America to Britain. In 1774, the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act that allowed Quebec to maintain the French Civil Code as its judicial system and sanctioned the freedom of religious choice, allowing the Roman Catholic Church to remain. Quebec retained its seigneurial system and civil law code after the conquest. Owing to an influx of Loyalist refugees from the US Revolutionary War, the Constitutional Act of 1791 saw the colony divided in two at the Ottawa River; the western part became Upper Canada (which will be later known as Ontario) and changed to the British legal system. The eastern part was named Lower Canada (Modern day Quebec).
In 1867, Quebec and Ontario, joining with the other British colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia will create the Canadian Confederation, and later on, many more province will join the country, and create modern day Canada.
Even thought the Québecois was the only French Speaking people in North-America, they retained their cultural identity through out these past hundreds years. With an high nationalism feeling toward their province, some Québecois went with far more extremist way to gain independence from Canada. Two most notable movement were the Patriotes Rebellion of 1837 and the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) of the 1960s. After these two rebellion against the British Crown and the rest of Canada, the Québecois voted on two different occasion, in the 1980 Quebec referendum. Sixty per cent of the Quebec electorate voted against it. And finally, October 30, 1995, in a second referendum the vote for Quebec independence was rejected by an extremely slim margin, less than one per cent.
Often described as a crossroads between Europe and America, Quebec is home to a people that has the privilege of being connected to the strong cultural currents of the United States, France, and the British Isles all at the same time.
