Jacques+Cartier-Carter

** Jacques Cartier:Born in the seaport Saint Malo,1491 Major Accomplishment:Discovered St.Lawerence River. French explorer claimed Canada for France. Went to newfoundland in 1520's. The only reason I explored is because I was commanded to by the King of France My first documented journey was to the "new world" in 1534. Sailed to gulf of St. Lawerence, and landed on Gapse` peninsula, I also claimed this for France. I took two indians and loads of Maize or corn back to France. My 2nd voyage to the St. Lawerence river, in 1535.He established modern-day Quebec. I spent a long time with the Huron Indians near Quebec. I well sort of betrayed them and kidnaped 12 of them including the cheif and sailed right home to France. I tortured them for them to tell him where their gold mine was that never had existed My 3rd and final voyage in 1541 again to Canada, but this time I was in the crew. I was in search of gold,but only found angry indians. When I went back to Europe he was only greeted by more orders to return to St. Lawerence. I refused to the faces of the king and queen to return. From that day on I was regarded as a failure. I hope to be remembered by my establishment in canada land claims for France. Jacques Cartier died of a disease in France. **
