British attempts to encourage immigration were largely unsuccessful but by mid-century the building of roads attracted a flood of French Canadians from the south-shore seigneuries.
Crofters and Habitants
The two groups arrived in Winslow Township in the middle of the nineteenth century, when modern state bureaucracy was just developing in Lower Canada (Quebec).

Histoire de l'assurance de personnes
L’assurance de personnes occupe une place importante dans l’économie québécoise. Cet ouvrage de synthèse témoigne de l’évolution de ce secteur depuis l’arrivée des compagnies britanniques au Canada et la formation des premières sociétés de secours mutuels au 19e siècle jusqu’aux compagnies actuelles devenues de véritables groupes financiers. Vouées d’abord à la " protection de la veuve et de l’orphelin ", les institutions offrent aujourd’hui différents produits de sécurité financière correspondant aux principales étapes de la vie. Elles sont devenues aussi des piliers de l’économie par l’épargne, recueillie sous forme de primes et réinvestie afin d’honorer les contrats des assurés, ainsi que par les emplois créés (agents, courtiers, conseillers financiers, etc.). En retraçant les grandes étapes de l’évolution de cette branche particulière de l’économie financière, ce livre vise à démystifier le monde méconnu de l’assurance de personnes. Il se veut également une reconnaissance de la contribution des principaux acteurs de cette industrie à l’histoire du Québec.
