The Francophone "Conquest" of New England : Geopolitical Conceptions and Imperial Ambition of French-Canadian Nationalists in the Nineteenth Century
Description
From the author:" 'Les Canadiens Français de la Nouvelle-Angleterre' (1891) by the French Jesuit Edouard Hamon is representative of Quebec imperialist thought. Hamon envisioned a peaceful conquest of New England by a surplus French-Canadian population, capable of resisting Americanization, laboring in the mills, and farming the countryside. Hamon suggested bonds between established Quebec churches and churches in northern New England. He favored a sovereign nation formed out of Quebec and Franco-American New England. Hamon's work was warmly received by French Canadians and Franco-Americans, although it awakened nativist suspicion in the United States."
