Victorian Era vs Today Theme: Continuity and Change

Continuity #1 – (Those who had money had a good life, education, and social standing) This is a continuity because for good education and a good life you needed to be rich or in a rich family. The people with money were the white males and their families and the black people had a hard life and little to no education. Wealth in the time period determined you life, education, and social standings.

Change #2 – (Leisure travel became popular; idea of taking a “vacation” came about during this time; popular destination included America and Europe) Vacations were new to the citizens and people didn’t really go travel, vacations were used when you’ve done a good job at work or worked hard. Im guessing only the people that are rich would go on vacations because it probably cost a lot of money to travel.

 

Governing Quebec

As a British official, I realize there are many alternatives to governing Quebec. I have chosen the policy of Maintaining the status-quo to ensure the colony is properly run. I have chosen this policy because I want to allow the French to have their system of doing things, such as laws customs, language and religion, maintaining the Native reserves. My goal is to have the French comfortable and pleased, this will create trust and the French will no longer pose a threat. In addition, we gain trust and an ally for further wars. As I have outlined above, I believe the best policy for governing Quebec is maintaining status-quo. This will ensure that the colony will remain under British control and provide wealth for our glorious country.
