The Foundation on Canada


New France Map 1750 Atlas Link

Map of North America: Today Map Link

Our Discussion Topics:

  1. Look at the map below of North America circa the early 18th century (1700's). What do you notice about the territories and who lay claim to them? Can you predict what might arise?
  2. Find a map of North America today. See Links Above for some suggestions.
  3. Post an answer to the following question:
    Over which modern-day states or provinces do the claims of France fall (name ten)? Does this surprise you? Why or why not?
  4. Read through your classmates' postings and respond to at least two of them. Is there anything that you disagree with? If yes, why? Do you have any questions? Can you add anything?
