I have chosen the following line, “They are nearly all Catholic, do not speak English, are in a low, sensual condition of life, and are less disposed than others to improve themselves. They are not so accessible to our influence. Not mingling freely with society, they do not catch the dominant spirit.” These lines very well explain the historical context. These lines give an idea about the nature of the Quebecois immigrant and the things that they followed. Their motive was to come for better opportunities of jobs and life like any other immigrant group.
