Question 2

The seigneurial system refers to what?

Accepted Answer

The seigneurial system refers to the feudal system of landlords that the French government created to control settlement in the new world. Under this system, large tracts of land were granted to seigneurs (lords) who would then lease smaller plots to tenants, known as habitants, who were required to give a portion of their crops to the seigneur as rent. The seigneurial system was in place in New France (now Quebec) until it was abolished in 1854.

Question 3

Many Anglophone Quebecois are moving out of the region for what reason?

Accepted Answer

Strong Quebecois nationalism can lead to resentment towards Anglophones, which may make them feel unwelcome in the region and encourage them to move elsewhere. The other options are less likely to be the primary reason for Anglophone Quebecois leaving the region: while language laws may create some inconvenience, they are not likely to be the sole cause for migration; many Anglophones may enjoy living in a diverse community surrounded by people who do not share their language; and while job opportunities may vary by region, they are not likely to be the only factor driving Anglophone Quebecois out of the province.

Question 4

France lost control of their territories in the New World in 1763.More than two hundred years later the descendants of French settlers still maintain their language and cultural traditions.Which of the following factors contributed to this?

Accepted Answer

Strong ties to the Catholic Church and isolated rural lifestyles allowed French settlers to maintain their language and cultural traditions even after losing control of their territories in the New World. The Catholic Church provided a sense of continuity and cultural identity, while living in isolated rural areas helped to maintain the French language and culture without much outside influence. The desire to maintain a strong national identity and a separate identity from British sympathizers may have also played a role, but they were not as significant as the factors mentioned in choice A. Descendants having no motivation to change languages is not a valid explanation as language and cultural identity are typically deeply rooted in heritage and tradition.

This can also lead to increased erosion and damage to infrastructure such as roads and bridges.
