The French King imposed a fine of 2,000 pounds of sugar if a man was
convicted of fathering a child by a slave,
and the mother and child was seized
and given to the religious to work in the hospitals, both as slaves.
This is the first reference to French Metis slaves.

Because the French allowed the Coureurs des Bois to trade into the Dakota and Assiniboine country, thereby bypassing the Ottawa and Weddat, they entered into treaty with the Iroquois. This freed the Iroquois to again attack the French settlements with a new fury. The French retaliated with a 2000 man army to invade the Iroquois country. They didn't engage the Iroquois, but burned their villages and crops. The Iroquois, being primarily an agricultural culture, are forced into starvation and are forced into peace discussions that last three years. Sudden ambushes and swift attacks on both sides continued during discussions.
The French King imposed a fine of 2,000 pounds of sugar if a man was convicted of fathering a child by a slave, and the mother and child was seized and given to the religious to work in the hospitals. Few convictions were handed down, as the slave owners claimed that all slaves were promiscuous and, therefore, loose in sexual relations and that they were liars whose word couldn't compare to an upright citizen. Sexual relationships between Europeans and their female slaves were a generally accepted practice and an integral part of their culture.
English Colonial authority had more power to create their own laws. The French and Spanish were forced to follow Roman Law but the civilized laws didn't really apply to slaves, as they were property not people.

1696
Governor Miners from St. John ruled thirty-five colonies.
Louis XIV (1638-1715) proclaimed: "to every person, regardless of rank or condition, to leave on a trading trip or to go inland for any reason, under pain of the galleys; and requires all Frenchmen settled with or visiting Natives to take their leave and return, or they will be liable of the same punishment" The expectation was that in essence the Coureurs des Boise would abandon their Country Wives and Metis children and return to French enslavement.
The Acadians had changed masters no less than 14 times in the last century.
Father Charles Albanel (1616-1696), a Jesuit, died at Sault Ste Marie.
The Coureurs des Bois are bypassing the Farmers General who alone can ship the beaver skins to their profit. These merchants of Canada sell their goods at an excessive price to the people of the coast who board them during the winter. The King of France does not receive his share.
(I)-Louis de Baude, comte de Frontenac (1622-1698), Governor New France, destroyed the Iroquois villages of Oneida and Onondaga.
The French army captures an 80 year old Iroquois who is almost blind. The French wished to put him to death, the Indians wanted a quick death by club, but the French savages insisted on slow roasting, by fire, as they have done to many in the past.

At the close of this century, New France has a pathetic estimated population
of 12,000 people. The English Colony's population, excluding the West
Indies, is estimated as 294,000 people. French Protestants continue
to flood into the English Colonies, along with the Dutch, Scotch, Irish,
and Germans. It is noteworthy that the French continue their
policy of One King (servitude), One Faith; (religious intolerance) whereas
the English colonies embrace liberty, self-government and religious tolerance.
If the French had adopted a more liberal religious policy, New France would
have likely been populated by some 600,000 people.

Jean Bouchard de Champigny wrote: Settlers who have become attached to cultivating the land and have fallen at the right place, live quite comfortably, finding advantages that peasants do no have in France, and that is that they are almost all along the river, where they can fish and their house stands in the middle of the front of their property, which surrounds them on the other tree sides. As they do not have to leave it to make the most of it and to cut their wood which grows where their land ends, their work is made much easier. He also said: The men are all strong and vigorous but have no liking for work of any duration; the women love display and are excessively lazy. He also remarked that the indolence of the men and the desire of the woman to live like gentle ladies, kept people poor and the colony's economy backward. No one in Canada starved; not so in France. They had the freedom to hunt, and fish; not so in France. European peasants rarely had horses and carriages for mere social purposes. Most Canadian youth had their own horse, not for work but pleasure. Canadians were not driven to overproduce for the benefit of the seigneurs or Governor, and prefered to spend surplus effort in relaxed enjoyment of their leisure time.
