what will france call the area along the st. lawrence river
During the 19th century, many prospectors and miners, including those influenced by the California Gold Rush, unsuccessfully searched for gold along the St. Lawrence River. This region, known more for its fur trade and other resources, did not yield significant gold deposits. Various groups, including settlers and Indigenous peoples, participated in these searches, but ultimately, the region did not become a successful gold mining area. The allure of potential riches led many to explore, but they often returned disappointed.
French explorers primarily searched the Mississippi and St. Lawrence rivers. Notably, Jacques Cartier explored the St. Lawrence River in the 1530s, while René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, famously navigated the Mississippi River in the late 17th century. These explorations were crucial for establishing French claims in North America.
The United States is located along the Great Lakes, Saint Lawrence River and the Mississippi River.
