Questions From Chapter 5

1) Why were French settlements so dispersed throughout North America? (ie. Why were some settlements in the the Fertile Crescent area, while others were in other far away areas such as Detroit and Quebec?)

2) What exactly is a congressional? (I didn't really get it from the text)

3) What caused the huge population increase in New York City in the 1700s?
