This feeling of independance goes back to when the English conquered Canada (or Québec as it was then called) and took control over the population, who had for quite some time been under French monarchy. As the English tried to assimilate the French population to the English immigrants, by restricting the catholic religion, and imposing an education based on the English system, it was natural for the French-Canadians to feel as tough they were a nation apart. This feeling is still true for many.
96! ____ It was actually 98 according to my history book! :3 beware History books. They simplify. They even occasionally exaggerate, just to get their point across. I have consulted several French sources, and the best figures I can come up with are: Total Population 26,000,000 !st Estate (Clergy) 120.000 2nd Estate (Nobility) 400,000 3rd Estate 25,480,000 Which is nearer to your 98%. BUT the figure of 26,000,000 population is not exact or in fact exactly known; estimates range from 28,000,000 down to 24,000,000. Pick your figure!
