History Of Quebec
Quebec was first called ''Canada'' between 1534 and 1763. It was the most developed colony of New France as well as New France's centre, responsible for a variety of dependencies (ex. Acadia, Plaisance, Louisiana, and the Pays d'en Haut). Common themes in Quebec's early history as ''Canada'' include the fur trade — because it was the main industry — as well as the exploration of North America, war against the English, and alliances or war with Native American groups. Following the Seven Years' War, Quebec became a British colony in the British Empire.

During this period, the inferior socio-economic status of francophones (because anglophones dominated the natural resources and industries of Quebec), the Catholic church, resistance against cultural assimilation, and isolation from non English-spea ...

Supporters of this position were called the Ralliés (Rallying Catholics). According to Bruno Dumons, "The emergence of a Moderate Republicans (France, 1871–1901), more moderate Republic encouraged Catholics to embrace reconciliation. By endorsing openness, Holy See, Roman and Episcopal conference, episcopal authorities fostered initiatives attempting a conservative Catholic right-wing experiment, which renounced monarchy and accepted republican institutions." This policy of rapprochement with French secular republicanism initially generated great hope among the Ralliés—Christian democracy, Christian democrats and liberal Catholics—but was shattered by the Dreyfus affair at the end of the 19th century.
