The Age of Exploration: Chapter 8, Exercise 3 — Possible Solution
======================================================================

EXAMPLE MEASURE: HOW LONG A SETTLEMENT LASTED
Charlesbourg-Royal: abandoned (1541 to 1542 attempt).
Roanoke: abandoned or vanished by 1590.
Jamestown: founded 1607 and survived; moved its capital in 1699.
Cabot's 1497 voyage set up no settlement.

WHAT CANNOT BE COMPARED
Population sizes, funding and death rates: the sources give figures for
Jamestown and Roanoke only, and none for Cartier or Cabot.
