Huguenots and the historians of New-France
- «Richelieu (The Cardinal) made a great miscalculation
when he accepted to exclude the protestants from the
colonies. If one the the two religions should be excluded
to have peace, the interest of colonization required that
the exclusion fell on the Catholics.»
- François-Xavier Garneau, 1845
Notes:
- We can easily understand why the powerful Clergy of
Quebec to expurgate the books of Garneau.
- Let now look on the side of the genealogist.
