The Governor
General (Frontenac) was the top official in New France, a living symbol of King
Louis 14th in New France; he was responsible for all military planning
and Aboriginal relations; he reported to the King.
The Bishop
(Laval) was the head of the Church in New France; his Church also ran all
schools and hospitals – they had a lot of power (spiritual, education,
healthcare)
The
Intendant (Talon) was the manager of New France and supervised all law, order, finances
& population of New France; he reported to Frontenac.
To increase
the population of New France, King Louis 14th sent over les filles du roi, young, single,
orphaned females to create families with the workers or engages who also left their mother-country to colonize New France.
Property lots
in New France were divided into Seigneuries
- long, strips of land running from the shores of the St. Lawrence River into
the forests; they were cleared and farmed by a Habitant and managed by its landlord or Seigneur.
The Seigneur (landlord of Seigneury) built
the flower mill, the Church, managed all farming and reported back to the
Intendant (Talon).
The Habitant (worker on Seigneury) built a
house, farmed the land and laboured for his landlord (the Seigneur).
Unlike
France, in New France the Seigneur (landlord) had high-status but not super
wealth; the Habitant (worker) had his own land, more freedom and income.
