The Independent spirit and adaptability of the Canadians
The people who moved to New France from France are much happier because there was a lot of poverty and starving in France. In new France, everyone had to become very independent therefore they became their own distinct set of people called the Canadians which is why they didn't feel the need to leave after the British Conquest becase they didn't feel as though they were French but that they were Canadian. -
