History Task

1. after the French & Aboriginal alliance was destroyed by weapons, alcohol, disease and forced religion (end of video we watched), King Louis 14th of France did not want to loose the colony of New France on the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec; he took complete control making it a Royal Colony, governed directly by him; he was an Absolute Monarch with unlimited power over anyone and anything - no constitution, no parliament of politicians, no rich/powerful individuals could restrict his rule in any way.
2. King Louis of France appointed 3 important officials to manage and direct his Royal Colony of New France, namely:  Frontenac (Governor General), Laval (Bishop) and Tallon (Intendant).
3. Governor General represented King Louis and his authority in New France
4. Bishop was head of Catholic Church, schools, missionaries, hospitals
5. Intendant managed day-to-day activities of colony & finance
6. King Louis sent young women known as filles du roi to marry and populate colony

History (video conclusion, copy/paste notes to your table)

• French alliance with Hurons destroyed after 40 years - weapons, alcohol, disease and forced religion to blame
• King Louis 14th of France doesn't want to give up on New France and establishing/settling a new colony
• Louis wages a "holy war" against the Iroquois
• Louis also makes New France a Royal Colony with a government & administrators
• Governor of New France is impulsive and launches a surprise campaign against Iroquois in January (he has absolutely no experience dealing with a cold Canadian winter and is not prepared) as a result, hundreds of his soldiers die from the cold
• Eventually French sign a peace treaty with Iroquois for 20yrs
• King Louis offers large estates "seigneuries" for his New France administrators
• King Louis sends young, poor, abandoned girls "les filles du roi" to populate New France by getting married and bearing children 
• The goal is to change forests into towns and provinces, much like in the mother country France
• More servants (engagés) sent to New France to work; their labor was bought and sold; they would eventually become masters of the new land and Canadian Pioneers
