    COMMUNITY OF WATERVILLE, MAINE BY ALBERT C. FECTEAU B.A., St. Michael's College, 1951 A THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (in History) Division of Graduate Study University of Maine Orono June, 1952 June, 1952 M.A. History THE FRENCH CANADIAN COMMUNITY OF WATERVILLE, MAINE Albert C. Fecteau ABSTRACT In the early 1800's, there was a slow migratory movement from Lower Canada into the United States. The major causes for this flow of immigrants were first: a flourishing Republic adjacent to the Canadian border which offered economic opportunity; second: the existing colonial dissatisfaction or ethnic difficulties between the French Canadians and the British rulers; and third: the dismal economic outlook within Canada. Most of Waterville's early French Canadian immigrants were led to this locality by one or all of these motives. They came a few at a time and some occasionally returned to their Canadian farms or villages. Several developments quickened the migration. The first was the building of the `Kennebec Road' in 1830. Twenty-five years later, the construction of railroads made travel ever easier. Then came the Civil War in 1861 with its many offers of employment. However, it was the building of the cotton mills in 1874 and in 1882 that attracted the greatest number of French Canadian immigrants into Waterville. These people, generally poor and largely illiterate, suffered many hardships. Many of these were common to industrial communities of the Northeastern section of the United States in a period when laisson- faire was the prevailing philosophy.

It saw the election of Henry M. Donnelly, a Biddeford iron moulder, as the first president. The election was hotly contested by James A. Brennan of Augusta and Henry A. Becker of Bangor. Donnelly made no great speech of History of acceptance, stating simply that he was proud to be elect­ ed to any union office, and reminding the delegates that street cars and trains would shortly be leaving for their home towns. The convention chose Arthur L. Brown of Augusta as the first Treasurer. Those first delegates placed the Maine State Federa­ The tion firmly on the course it was to follow thereafter. It set the stage for legislative action, for employer-worker understanding, for just compensation, for humane hours of work, and for the suppression of a host of social evils commonplace at the turn of the century.
