Talk:Slavery in New France

major change
We will need to do some cleanup to the new additions....some info is simply  does not reflect the sources for Canadian territory  ...for eg.... We say in the article  "By the end of the French regime in Canada in 1759, there were around 4200 slaves[Trudel, Marcel (2004)], 1443 of whom were blacks while the majority were Panis, who made up 65 percent of the total slave population." ....But the sources says "Marcel Trudel documented 4,092 recorded slaves throughout "all of  Canadian history", of which 2,692 were Aboriginal people" ...this article needs someone to take a close look...lots of American info here that could be trimmed...american numbers are not even close to Canadian ones......Or we should move the article to Slavery in New France if all this American info is here. -- Moxy (talk) 15:54, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Clarification needed
The first sentence of the "African Slave Trade in New France" topic reads: "African slaves in New France were a minority in relationship to both African slaves within New France and ..."

Not sure what is being compared there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.178.240.226 (talk) 10:10, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

 * This is unbelievable, you act as if the article belongs to you and are still pointing fingers and accusing. All this mayhem for what? To prove you're right and that I'm wrong? Like I said, stop accusing me of things I haven't done and making come across as a disruptive editor, which I'm not. Like you, I want to improve it and yes I may make errors, but we're not dealing with open heart surgeries here. RafaelS1979 (talk) 02:58, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Slavery in Canada (New France) → Slavery in New France – The article also discusses slavery in New France territories which are currently in the United States. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:04, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination. A Slavery in Canada article already exists. This article is solely focused upon New France. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:56, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

One drop of negro blood?
The descendants of Black slaves from New France and Lower Canada are white-passing French Canadians. What if the they are etnically white, does their African descent make them black even if all of their forefathers and foremothers except one are white?

Sources:
 * note 4: Traces of slavery can also be found in Canada| Radio-Canada.ca; does not say anything about white-passing.
 * note 5: L’histoire du Québec métissée méconnue (vice.com); does not say anything about white-passing.
 * note 6: [VIDEO] History 101 of slavery in Quebec with Webster | JDQ (journaldequebec.com); repeating the story of note 4;does not say anything about white-passing.

I am removing the white-passing as unsourced. Creuzbourg (talk) 16:21, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
