Notes:

• Permanent settlement in Acadia and St-Lawrence river (1602-1627)
  

• In 1620, the monopoly is given to the brothers Guillaume and Emery de Caen. Both are Huguenots. Protestants and Catholics have to live together. Many frictions will take place between the towo groups. Catholics will complaint that they have to assist to the Protestant office to be well regards by the authorities of the colony.

• Another point of discord was the how to conduct the colonization. The Huguenots want to make permanent trading posts, Catholics were wanting to establish many settlers to convert the Indians. It is however difficult to blame the Protestant to be reluctant to bring settlers with the interdiction to practice their religion.

• Starting in 1616, the Jesuits and Recollet fathers will start a denigration campaign against the Huguenots. Many reports will be sent to the French court. Huguenot book’s will be burnt. Libelous pamphlets will be printed in France. In 1627, the monopoly of de Caen will be revoke and the Company of the hundred associates will obtain the monopoly of New-France. The company chart’s forbid to Huguenots to come and to settle in New-France . We must not that coincide with the fall of La Rochelle in France and the end of the political power of the Huguenots.
