		The seigneurial system was a system of landowning in France that was transferred to the French colonies in Eastern Canada.
		Seigneuries were again threatened with the confiscation of their lands if they remained uncleared, but this time the tenant was also at risk of losing his land if he failed to improve it.
		Despite the slow and painstaking immigration in the beginning, the seigneurial system was flooded with immigrants and prospective tenants in the 1700’s.

	Seigneurial System
		Seigneurial system, an institutional form of land distribution and occupation established in NEW FRANCE in 1627 and officially abolished in 1854.
		It was inspired by the feudal system, which involved the personal dependency of censitaires (tenants) on the seigneur; in New France the similarities ended with occupation of land and payment of certain dues, and the censitaire was normally referred to as a HABITANT.
		The system of land tenure, which placed rural inhabitants close to one another, and in the early 19th century the village, were the foundation upon which the family, neighbour relations and community spirit developed.

		This was the seigneurial system of land tenure, whose legal structure was transferred alsmot unaltered from France to the New World.
		If the seigneurial system were central to the development of early Canadian society, the patterns of settlement, land use, and trade in the colony would have borne the imprint of the system.
		This evidence leads to novel and interesting conclusions: that the seigneurie was not an important unit on the land and the seigneur was not a dominant figure in the life of the community.
