Champlain's Success:
He introduced the Order of Good Cheer, an effective way to improve the food supply at Port Royal
He was skilled planner who designed fortified posts at Port- Royal and Quebec
He was a skilled explorer and cartographer who advanced geographic knowledge of eastern Canada
He was a skilled negotiator who knew that it was important to make friendly alliances to secure Aboriginal trade
His writings persuaded the French that Canada was not a cold and worthless place
He gathered a great deal of information about the language and culture of Aboriginals
Failures
The Acadia habitation (1603) was poorly located and failed in the first winter because food was scarce.
His fortified trading post at Quebec was successfully overcome by the British (1629)
The Champlain map was the best at it's time but can be criticized by today's standards
The result of making war on the Iroquois to support his allies was constant raids on the French Settlers
During his life time, very few settlers actually came to New France.
During his lifetime, very few Aboriginals were converted to Christianity (one of France's goals at the time).
