Black history month: slavery in New France

Feb 25, 2014 15:04

OP: Since Canadians are generally woefully uninformed about their own history of slavery, I thought I would dedicate a post or two to this issue. The following post is on slavery in New France (i.e. French colony in North America).
( More under the cut... )

i've lived in québec for 13 years and while this doesn't surprise me i wish more teachers would take about this in history class.
