About this course

This course will examine the French experience in the Atlantic world from the sixteenth century through the Age of Revolution. We will examine the first attempts to explore and colonize the Americas, both north and south, the establishment of colonies in Canada and Louisiana, and the development of the slave trade and plantation colonies in the Caribbean. We will end with an examination of the global consequences of the French Revolution, especially in the establishment of the Republic of Haiti, the second independent nation in the western hemisphere.
