Abstract
Development and the effects of French-Canadian patriotism furnish significant sidelights on an understanding of the local patriotisms of Europe. It is necessary to understand history to appreciate the situation. The first settlers were mainly Bretons and Normans; later there were Indian and Scotch accretions. A feeling of isolation developed, due to British conquest and to the American and French revolutions. The Quebec Act and the return of the lay leaders to France established clerical control. A hostile attitude toward France developed, and the patriotic mariage de raison with England. French-Canadians in Quebec hold a dominant position and have important influence throughout Dominion. The sources of their patriotism are historic, educational, and religious. The destiny of the race is bound up with Canada's future, yet they remain distinctly separatist. Their liberation may come through their sons and daughters who have immigrated to the United States.
