Chandonnet and the “Horror and Execration of Posterity” François Chandonnet reappeared in Quebec history as the era of the American Revolution ended and the French Revolution threatened to spread.

In 1797, the French Revolution came to Lower Canada.

The actual jury decided promptly. The historical jury is still out.

A new blog post from QTP.

Reinvigorating Franco-American History C. Stewart Doty's call for research in specific areas of Franco-American history in 2000 can continue to guide scholarship in our day.

What's old is new: "The article below, carried in French in Le National on November 7, exemplifies how Franco-American newspapers connected the immigrant community with nationwide political issues and campaigns." #CanadaUS #election #FrancoAmericans #tariffs
