About This Book

The book analyzes the transfer of control of French territories in North America by contrasting two colonial models: a government-directed, feudal and ecclesiastical system that concentrated land, trade, and authority and suppressed local initiative, and a settler-driven, self-reliant, commercially oriented society that fostered population growth and demand for self-government. It argues that institutional differences—seigneurial tenure, trade monopolies, centralized administration versus dispersed settlements, local lawmaking, and entrepreneurial agriculture—shaped social life, economic development, and military capacity, and thus influenced the course and outcome of conflicts in North America.
