I listen to every one of your videos, but don’t usually comment because I fall asleep. But I really love your videos, your voice is soothing and since I am a history nerd, I love the topics. Especially this video, as this time era is my favourite. Not just because it covers the history of my own country, I have always been interested in the colonial/fur trade period for some reason. I love the history of my country, and the influence France has had on it! Thank you :)

Mon Dieu. You have certainly got a niche in this kind of presentation sir. First off, yes naturally Americans in the US in particular like the French accent, and also the French language spoken, especially when done so in a relaxing atmosphere. I think this is great for Anglophones to learn French as an augmentation and/or diversion from the hectic world. Oh, almost forgot, the good history lessons too. Big thumbs up. Merci à vous.

I live in Canada. Always interesting to hear about French Canada's history. Quebec is like a little slice of Europe in North America. The Old parts of Quebec City and Montreal are gorgeous. Nothing else like it on this side of the Atlantic.

A branch of my family immigrated to Quebec in the early 19th century (Sainte-Marthe and Rigaud) before moving on to the US a generation or two later. I’ve always wanted to visit the province though - those European-style buildings covered in snow look so cozy. And I’m an ice hockey fanatic.

In case I fall asleep again. Thank you so much for your amazing ASMR presentations. I play every night. Such a soothing voice. Thank you for your research and insight. A wonderful combination!

I’m from Louisiana and I have Cajun French ancestors.

Merci, I enjoyed this and I am from a french colony (that I wish there was more of a presentation about, maybe I will do one) called Biloxi (Vieux Biloxie) here on the gulf in Mississippi. I have found that except for in this general region (75 miles or 110 km from New Orleans) the French colonies are almost completely forgotten. Thank you sir once again.

Thank you so much for making this video, I had a big grin on my face when I saw it. Not to make you angry with more requests, but could you do a video on the different tribes of North America? Like a video on the Iroquiois, Lakota, Blackfoot, Aztecs. Also a video on the crusades? These are all interests of mine, but please do not feel like you have to do them. Just some ideas if you ever run out. Anyways, I can not thank you enough for these historical whispers I love them so much.

i could listen to your voice/accent all day! soothing way to learn history.

I was born in Louisiana.. love asmr.. and I love history.. this is awesome lol

Very soothing history lesson. A significant chunk was left out though: The Little Canadas of New England. Big part of my family tree. Dozens of Little Canadas have contributed a significant but often ignored part of the character and history of New England since the 19th century (per the NE Historical Society). Paul Bunyan was a Canuck, thank you very much.

I already learnt all this in highschool, but your voice is so soothing!

This is very interesting! Thank you! :)

This is a very interesting video. I often watch & eventually listen to history related youtube videos while going to sleep. Your whispering voice adds an extra calming to the whole experience. I am descended from both French and Quebecois ancestors as well as Iroquois so this particular video has additional interest to me. I've surfed youtube for a decade & am quite surprised I've never discovered one of you videos. Very well done.

Relaxing voice! Interesting presentation! I like how your presentation style is highly original within KZread channels (that I know of)..

Hello, I happened across your page because of my interest in history and my enjoyment of ASMR for relaxation. You have provided me both! I shall subscribe for the interest of the facts you are sharing - and the quality of your voice makes this all the more pleasant. My mother's family has its roots in New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast region and my father, the Midwest Great Lakes region. I come from a large Creole heritage; thus, the reason for drawing my interest to your page. I look forward to more of your content! Merci!

I respect the French's attitude towards the native Americans, instead of slaughtering them they set up fur trade and traded other things with them.

The French were not friends with all indigenous groups as mention in Christopher Haines' entry. Also keep in mind the French participated in a slave trade of indigenous peoples (Panis), sold to them by indigenous allies.

Interesting video. Captivating and somehow somewhat soothing. There are a couple of errors in the detail of the history: - Jacques Cartier did explore the Gulf of St. Lawrence 1534 but he did not establish a colony at that time. His attempt at colonization came during his 1535-36 expedition. Furthermore the colony was established on the north shore of the St. Lawrence at what is now Quebec City not on the south shore in the Gaspé Bay area as the author states. - Although the English, along with a number of other nations, had a presence in Newfoundland, the English were not officially colonizing the area at the same time that Cartier was in Quebec. Official English attempts at colonizing NL came in 1583 under Sir Humphrey Gilbert. - Although Quebec was established in 1608 it was not France's first colony in the region. This falls to the earlier 1605 establishment of Port Royal (Habitation) by Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons, in Acadia. Acadia is not located in the Gaspé Bay area. The bulk of old Acadia falls south and east of the Gaspé Bay. - Further along in the video the War of the Spanish Succession is mentioned and that it was concluded with the Treaty of Brunswick. The War of the Spanish succession was concluded with the Treaty of Utrecht. Under the treaty France gave up its claims to Rupert’s Land (Hudson Bay), Newfoundland, and ceded its colony of Acadia to Britain. Thus by 1755 and the deportation of the Acadians, Britain had been in control of Acadia for more than forty years. The author seems to imply Acadia fell to the British in 1755 and the Acadian deportations were a consequence of this. -Although many Acadians did end up in Quebec as well as Louisiana the journey was a complex one. The Acadians were deported to the other British American colonies, England and France by the British. Others fled to Quebec. Those who ended up in Louisiana and elsewhere did this by their own agency.

Thank you for this video.

Great presentation. I would say though when France was forced to cede(the nice diplomatic word for 'stolen') Canada to Britain it knew wholeheartedly that it had just lost its most valuable possession. Besides the vast resources or the immense landscape whoever owned Canada would control the fastest trade routes beto Asia/China, East Siberia/east Russia, Australia, and the Americans direct to Britain which it than exported to Europe etc. That's why Napoleon had his secret deal with Spain so Britain wouldn't know France was coming to get its lost possession back.

Good video but you can't discover a continent that has already been occupied for thousands of years the vikings were not the first people to discover this land the natives did because they were born here. I'm a metis french and natives that lived together in peace were often rejected by both colonial settling and native nations Je parle Le franglais de Canadien. Lol keep it up your videos are informative and relaxing I love them!

oh no, can't do this right now or I will fall asleep. Been up all night studying the french colonies. Must stay awake. Will check it out later. lol

Even after France's defeat in the Seven Years War, the French had a continued legacy in North America, with many Frenchman who initially served King Louis ended up serving the new colonial powers (i.e. Spain and Britain) and later on the United States. They continued to found new cities and settlements as far west as Idaho and Washington State ( the city of Couer d'Alene was founded by French trappers working for the Hudson's Bay Company)

There are stories from the Kentucky eastern border, by British/American people not to go to that land, because you would encounter the French and the Indians. You'll find this info if you study the people of the Appalachians.

The power and glory of the french nation in the North America is more known than never before but there's still some works to do. The books are undusted, the artifacts are unsoiled and the interests of the quebecois and americans is growing. It's a good thing to our neighbors to know more about the truth because almost everyone in Canada/United-States is holding some affilities indeed some family roots. The Quebec nation is the result of a epic trip to an unknown land and a crazy project of exploration the land and the rivers,between the autochtone clans and the majestic wilderness. The trade road of fur, treaty and the technologies given btween each other have been making a kind of fusion of two distinct nations to became one known as Métis. The important thing here is that, despite difference and language, the dialogues and the active listening can resolve problems and create attachments indeed a new modern nation. Most of my ancestors came from the France and the Maine state in the years 1700.

I started listening but the topic of colonisation is not very relaxing I’ll be back in the daytime
