	Appendix 2. Non-English Dialects in America. 2. French. Mencken, H.L. 1921. The American Language
		The French dialect spoken by the Creoles and their colored retainers in Louisiana has been extensively studied, 14 as has the dialect of the French West Indies.
		French rule in Louisiana, and some of this literature is still preserved, though the French-speaking population of the state is rapidly diminishing, and New Orleans is now a thoroughly American city.
		Curiously enough, nearly the whole of it was produced, not during the days of French rule, but after the American occupation in 1803.

	French colonization of the Americas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		French colonization of the Americas began in the 16th Century, and continued as France established a colonial empire in the 17th century.
		The French were also responsible for the settlement of the nation of Haiti, the nation which shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, as well as the islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique, St.
		However, Guadeloupe is unique in these French colonies because slaves gained independence for a brief period from 1795 (due to pressures by the French Revolution, the convention in Paris performed this task and sent Victor Hugues to implement the new law) to the reinstatement of the institution of slavery by Bonaparte in 1802.

	French America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		French America (French: Amérique française) is the French-speaking community of peoples and diaspora, notably those tracing back origins to New France, the early French colonization of the Americas.
		Quebec is the center of the community; and the Ordre des francophones d'Amériques is a decoration given in the name of the community to its members.
		It can also be described as the Francophonie of America (the continent).

	How Newspapers Covered the French and Indian War \| Early America Review
		The news of the war continued unabated in America's press until the French officially relinquished land claims in North America in 1763, and the vast majority of Native Americans east of the Mississippi River either died fighting, succumbed to peace treaties with the English settlers, or moved westward.
		In America the war, named for the English king, was fought mainly in the border region of New England and Canada with sporadic fighting in New York.
		Directly involved, especially on the side of the French, were Native Americans from the St. Lawrence River to the Mississippi River delta,* and the true danger of the French and Indian organization against the British colonists was quickly brought into focus by the publication of George Washington's Journal.

	A French America \| Antimoon Forum
		This is because the French had a strong tendency to go native in all of their colonies and intermarry with the native populations not caring very much whether the French language was used or not.
		One of the reasons why the French really only had a tenuous link to their own North American possessions (and one of the reasons why Napoleon was so nonchalant about selling the US Louisiana) was that unlike the British and the Spanish, they did not send many settlers over.
		French is still quite dominant in parts of Canada so is it not more likely that if the Brits were kicked out of North America the French would have landed more people to steal Indian land.

	The American Revolution (French and Indian War)
		The French, never lovers of the English due to hundreds of years of fighting, sent the Indians who allied themselves with the French in raiding parties in retaliation for raids conducted by the Indians on the English side, who claimed that their raids were in retaliation for those made by the French.
		Washington was accused by the French of coldly leading an assassination of those men who were killed, and in fact even tricked Washington into signing a document that was translated into saying that he had attacked the party.
		Dieskau, commanding the French forces in America, had taken the advise of Governour Vaudreuil and decided that the English forts at Oswego were a menace and needed to be removed.

	The French and Indian War
		When the French soon afterwards shifted their trade to the St. Lawrence, the Algonkin and Montagnais had allied with the Huron and were fighting with the Iroquois League for control of the upper river.
		Despite this, the French established permanent trading posts and missions in Wisconsin, and using their power as the supplier of the trade goods, assumed the role of mediator in intertribal disputes and began dominating the relations between the tribes in the upper Great Lakes.
		French traders were robbed and killed as a result, and as posts closed after the royal decree, the situation became worse.

	The Dual for North America
		The French voyageurs also recruited Indians to hunt for beaver as well, but Indians were decimated by White Man’s diseases, and the beaver population was heavily extinguished.
		During the French and Indian War, though, Americans from different parts of the colonies found, surprisingly to them, that they had a lot in common (language, ideals), and barriers of disunity began to melt.
		French culture is strong there in the form of road signs, classrooms, courts, and markets, eloquently testifying to the continued vitality of French culture in North America.

		The French, from their base around the Great Lakes, are drawn south along the rivers which drain into the Mississippi, and then on down the great river itself.
		The changing fortunes of the British in north America in 1758-9 are largely due to the energy and skill of the man who in the summer of 1757 becomes secretary of state with responsibility for the war - William Pitt, known as Pitt the Elder (or, later, earl of Chatham).
		In 1759 the French fort at Niagara is taken (a strategically important site), followed shortly by another event of sweet revenge - the capture of Fort Carillon at Ticonderoga, the site of a costly and embarrassing failure in the previous year.

		In these circumstances the French fur traders find it very hard to get their wares to the St Lawrence, particularly after the friendly Huron have been driven west by the Iroquois in 1648-50.
		The level of population reaches a point where it is able to increase by natural growth (most of the inhabitants of the thriving French colony in the next century descend from this first major influx of settlers), and explorers now begin the process of pressing west and south from the Great Lakes.
		The great central valley of north America, watered by the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri rivers, is first visited by Europeans during the late 1660s and 1670s.

	The American Enemy: The History of French Anti-Americanism by Philippe Rogerk
		French anti-Americanism is not a recent fever we could use polls to chart, correlating the fluctuations with any given episode of Franco-American relations.
		French anti-Americanism is a historical construct with deep roots in French culture.
		French anti-Americanism has mostly been approached up to now as one of the aspects of an ambivalent, ambiguous, contradictory relationship—a flip side of the coin that is nonetheless recognized as the much more visible side.

		It didn't matter which side was correct, the main object wasn't to retaliate, but rather for the French to keep the English in their place, and for the English to iritate the French as much as possible until they moved out.

	Impact of Early Spanish & French Explorers
		"French America" remained largely an unsettled wilderness inhabited by wandering trappers [called coureurs de bois or "runners of the woods"], independent traders, and Catholic missionaries, along with Native America "Indians" [a misnomer originating with Columbus, who thought he landed in "the Indies"--islands off the coast of Asia].
		French settlers often blended in with the Native American tribes, adopting their ways of life along the Frontier.
		Nonetheless, French culture (such as language and architecture) is still in evidence today in communities all along the Mississippi River, from St. Paul, Minnesota, through St. Louis, down to Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
