		The governors, who ruled in an autocratic manner and had more extensive powers than any king since James I, might use the labor of convicts on public works, but they agreed with the British government that the transported criminal class needed to be watched closely and punished swiftly if they misbehaved.

		Looking backwards and forwards from this point, the French colonial Empire went through two major phases, the original expansion of the 17th and 18th centuries, and the conquests of the 19th century.

		A curious survival of French colonialism is the French Foreign Legion, the Légion Etrangère.

		By the 1840s the colonial government was concerned that there were too many "half-caste" children being born and that many of them quickly became victims of infanticide in Aboriginal communities.
