French and Dutch Exploration

Question 1 • (Bergold)WCA 2130 US History 1 1st nine weeks 26-27

Which of the following was a result of Jacques Cartier’s failed attempt to found a colony in North America?

Answer
A
Cartier returned to Quebec with more settlers the following year.
B
The French sold their land claims in North America to the English.
C
The French did not send explorers to the New World for many years.
D
Cartier explored the North American coast and found a Northwest Passage.

Explanation

Cartier’s attempt to establish a French settlement in what is now Canada failed, and France made no major effort to explore or colonize North America for several decades. So the result was a long pause in French exploration, not a successful return with more settlers or a sale of French claims. Cartier also did not find a Northwest Passage.
