Trought of video 2 of Cartier
The video 2 reveal the second voyage of Cartier which is the most interesting voyage in my throught. Cartier and his men had to stay in Canada because of the ice which sticked his ships while Cartier wasn't prepair for it. The more terrible thing is that scurvy spreaded betwen these French men. Many people were died in dismay and the situation was seriously uuntil one of the Chief's son recomended a herb what could cure the disease. tough the native man save the lives of the Frenches, Cartier wasn't pres ent any apreciate to them. At that time, Cartier hadn't got any thing to show the worth of Canada to the king so he plant out an idea which is to take the Chief and some native people to France. Considering that taking them in thier willing is hopelessly, Cartier invite them to joyin a party in his ship. The chief,chief's son and many native people came while Cartier shutted them in the ship. Many native people came near the bound and called thier chiefs'name but Cartier sailed the ship th France. Cartier promes to the Chief that he will be sent back soon. Chief was well treated in France but he was killed by the european disease. This was a pitty that the Chief stayed in France for four years and never come back.
