History 203 - E arly Canada,1534-1867

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

After laying eyes upon the eastern coast of Canada in May 1534, the French explorer Jacques Cartier remarked that it resembled the "land that God gave to Cain." Despite Cartier's initial misgivingsCanada presented numerous opportunities to Europeans, as it had for the First Nations before them. During the next three centuries, the northern half of North America evolved into an imperial domain of the French, and then of the British. In 1867, through a political union known as Confederation, the Dominion of Canada was created, and the first steps toward the Canada that we know today were taken. This course explores the political, economic, social and cultural life of Early Canada, from the age of European contact to Confederation.
