Was Samuel de Champlain successfully or failure

Champlain's Success:

He introduced the Order of Good Cheer, an effective way to improve the food supply at Port Royal

He was skilled planner who designed fortified posts at Port - Royal and Quebec

He was a skilled explorer and cartographer who advanced geographic knowledge of eastern Canada

He was a skilled negotiator who knew that it was important to make friendly alliances to secure Aboriginal trade

His writings persuaded the French that Canada was not a cold and worthless place

He gathered a great deal of information about the language and culture of Aboriginals

Failures

The Acadia habitation (1603) was poorly located and failed in the first winter because food was scarce.

His fortified trading post at Quebec was successfully overcome by the British (1629)

The Champlain map was the best at it's time but can be criticized by today's standards

The result of making war on the Iroquois to support his allies was constant raids on the French Settlers

During his life time, very few settlers actually came to New France.

During his lifetime, very few Aboriginals were converted to Christianity (one of France's goals at the time).
