St. Jean, Quebec, 1871: A Socio-Economic Profile
|
| Abstract |
A study of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, formerly known as St. Johns, the regional centre of the Richelieu Valley, in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The author compares the information as to age, sex, religion and occupation given in the 1871 census with similar information in parish records. He then examines the role of railroads and their influence on the economic development of the town from 1850 to 1870. Finally, he examines the effects of a service-oriented economy upon the social structure of the town, and the relationship between class, ethnicity and social structure. By 1871, the town was predominately Francophone, with a small community of Irish Catholic and English, Irish and Scottish Protestant families. The role and status of these Anglophones in relation to the Francophone population is discussed.
