History:
Biculturalism or 2 distinct languages and ways of life resulted in early Canada from both French and British settlement and colonization.
Natives helped Europeans develop and expand their fur trading companies in exchange for military help, guns, ammunition, food, clothing, and cooking utensils; it was a mutually beneficial relationship.
The fleur-de-lis was the marque or symbol of the King of France, Louis 14th & 15th.
The centre of French power was located along the Atlantic coast of early Canada at Ile Royale (Cape Breton Island) and Acadia; fortress of Louisbourg.
Louisbourg was an important fortress, royal capital, naval base, and centre of commerce.
To counteract the French's control of the fur trade, the British build a fortress in nearby Halifax surrounded by stockades (wall/barrier) - it became a very powerful base.
The British approached and easily captured the French's Louisbourg fortress and wanted to take over and control their territory in Acadia. The British also wanted the French to pledge an oath of allegiance to their British King or be deported.
