Travel Assignment #2: What the heck was this Hat Craze all about??

Hello Time Traveler,

Hopefully your first task went well and there were not too many issues that you had to deal with during your travels.



We have heard all about some sort of Hat Craze in Europe that helped New France's creation. We're not too sure what that is all about, so this will be your next assignment.

Explain the Hat Craze and why it was important to new France's history.


Don't forget to include:



  • what was the Hat Craze?
  • why use beavers?
  • is there something comparable today that could compare?
  • what long term impact did this create for New France?

Please report back no later than December 4.



Good luck on your mission!


Sincerely,

Mr. Peabody
