Excerpt from book: colonies in America represent a most noble, interesting and dramatic effort on the part of brave in Ike wist men 1n est ays e Empire. The colonial ambitions of France were largely due to the policy of the brilliant minister of Louis XIV, Colbert. Canada was, of course, the most important colony. On her all the others depended. The commercial ambitions united with the religious zeal of the orders to push into the unknown wilderness and make of the land a new France worthy of the old. Canada was settled in 1608. Thence the explorers pushed through the Great Lakes to the headwaters of the Mississippi. Thence they had traced the waters of the mighty river down to the sea by 1632. All this land they named Louisiana. The English held a fringe along the Atlantic. France claimed all the country from Canada north, and from the Alleghanies west and south to the Gulf. The extent and history of this power in America is well known. But conflict with the English was inevitable. It came just before and during the Seven Years' War, 1756-63. The border clashes such as that at Fort Duquesne soon developed into regular war. The Battle of the Heights of Abraham in 1759 decided the fate of Canada. Quebec fell to the English, and the Treaty of Paris gave to England all her western colonies, except Louisiana. This was purchased at the beginning of the Nineteenth Century by the United States. Any attempt to compress within the limits of a review of a few pages the account of the marvellous de- . , velopment of English power in this pe- Englisn Supremacy. f, . nod must of necessity be inadequate. Last in the field she reaps the harvest where others havesown the seed. Side by side with them in daring and in desire she is the youngest of the company of European nations to atta.
