The Hudson Bay Company: Mapmakers Other Than France
Mapmakers other than French, such as German and the English, at the time either didn't have any details of the areas or produced somewhat corrupted information that they managed to get from the French knowledge. The main contrast to this was the founding of the Hudson Bay Company that, via an organized company developed an efficient system for gaining furs for England and produced good quality maps for areas well north of the Parry Sound area.

The 1700s

Throughout the entire 18th century very little additions were added to this area of the world and it would seem, via copying the older maps and not always carefully, errors were made and the maps became less and less reliable on the eastern side of Georgian Bay. Also, in the early part of

    The Hudson Bay Company (HBC) was created and developed North America and in doing so were the people who weren’t native to deal with the aboriginal people. Was this beneficial to the aboriginal people ways and culture and did it create stability for them? In my personal opinion I don’t believe so, as it lead them down a path of near destruction. I believe that the European messed with them and used them for their own personal gain. The Aboriginal people would have been perfectly fine without the Europeans. If it’s not broke- don’t try fixing it.…

    Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by the people of English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. The reasons for this distinct development were mostly based on the type on people from England who chose to settle in the two areas, and on the manner in which the areas were settled. <br><br>New England was a refuge for religious separatists leaving England, while people who immigrated to the Chesapeake region had no religious motives. As a result, New England formed a much more religious society then the Chesapeake region. John Winthrop states that their goal was to form "a city upon a hill", which represented a "pure" community, where Christianity would be pursued in the most correct manner. Both the Pilgrims and the Puritans were very religious people. In both cases, the local government was controlled by the same people who controlled the church, and the bible was the basis for all laws and regulations. From the Article of Agreement, Springfield, Massachusetts it is clear that religion was the basis for general laws. It uses the phrase "being by God's providence engaged together to make a plantation", showing that everything was done in God's name. The Wage and Price Regulations in Connecticut is an example of common laws being justified by the bible. Also in this document the word "community " is emphasized, just as Winthrop emphasizes it saying: "we must be knit together in this work as one man". The immigrants to New England formed very family and religiously oriented communities. Looking at the emigrant lists of people bound for New England it is easy to observe that most people came in large families, and large families support the community atmosphere. There were many children among the emigrants, and those children were taught religion from their early childhood, and therefore grew up loyal to the church, and easily controllable by the same. Any deviants from the regime were silenced or…

    The “discovery” by Columbus of the New World in 1492 was followed by the establishments of European colonies with French initially in the north and down the Mississippi. The arrival of European settlers in the late 1500s-early 1600s in North America disrupted the Native American tribes that had been living peacefully there for centuries. The responses European settlers had to Native American tribes reflected their own cultural and economic viewpoints. As a result, the Native Americans’ lives changed drastically. The French had developed peaceful, mutually beneficial relations with Native Americans in the establishment of the French fur trade and culturally befriended them. On the other hand, the British tended to oppress Native Americans economically and culturally and denied their potential contributions to helping growing settlements in the New World.…
