The Fall The society of New
France revolved around life on the farm as an
inhabitant, the brief visits they made to the main
settlements such as Quebec city and Montreal and the
hold that the Catholic church applied to their spiritual
needs. Theirs was a mainly a frontier society that
deeply depended upon their support of each other and the
relationship with the Seignuray.
Visits to larger
settlements such as Quebec City of Montreal would be
business trips which would be conducted for purposes of
buying much needed supplies but most habitants would
usually not venture far from their farmhouse and could
get most supplies form their local network.
The main business
conducted in New France was the Fur trade and the young
men that left the farmhouse or the settled communities
formed a romantic elite part of French Canadian society.
Their long trips into the interior and adventurous
lively lifestyle added immensely to the lore and
traditions of the culture. |
