Early European Settlement Page 57 - 60

French and English

In the early 1600s, immigrants from England and France began to settle in the Atlantic region. A person who leaves his or her home country to settle in another.

The British and French wanted to tap into the region’s fish and fur.

They fought fiercely for control of the region. How did European territorial claims change between 1690 and 1713? How was the Atlantic region affected?

After decades of war, the Treaty of Paris gave England control of the Atlantic region in 1763.

"Early Acadia" by Claude T. Picard The Acadians Acadians were immigrants from France. Ownership of the Acadian colonies was tossed back and forth between the French and the English. "Early Acadia" by Claude T. Picard

“Oath of Allegiance” by Claude T. Picard The Acadians tried to stay neutral at the time. They promised to be loyal to the British as long as they wouldn’t have to fight the French or the native people. This worked… for a while. “Oath of Allegiance” by Claude T. Picard

In 1755, the Acadians were forced to swear an unconditional oath to England. This meant they would have to fight against the French. Most of them refused.

The British ordered the Acadians to be deported with nothing The British ordered the Acadians to be deported with nothing. All their belongings would become British property. “The Deportation Order” by Claude T. Picard

The British military destroyed Acadian communities and their homes and barns were burned down. Families were torn apart and many lost everything they owned. Acadians call this event the Grand Dérangement. In English this event is known as the Expulsion.

Deportation of the Acadians The Acadians were dispersed among the Thirteen Colonies, but many refused them and sent them on to Europe.

Some Acadians fled to Mi’kmaq territories in PEI and Cape Breton before the British troops arrived.

Nova Scotia agreed to give them land if they would swear an oath of allegiance.

Other Acadians fled to the Louisiana Territory in the USA and are now known as “Cajun.”

Loyalists Many English-speaking settlers came from the Thirteen Colonies to counterbalance the French population.

Seen as traitors to the Americans for wanting to remain faithful to England, the Loyalists came to NS and NB because they were offered land. The land they were offered was the land originally farmed by the Acadians.

Scottish Nova Scotia means New Scotland. During the late 18th century (1700’s), many settlers came from Highland Scotland to PEI and NS. About 10 000 Scottish people settled in Cape Breton.

Irish In 1846, the Great Potato Famine of Ireland forced millions of people to emigrate. Hundreds of thousands came to the Atlantic Provinces.

African Throughout the 1600’s and 1700’s, British traders captured people in West Africa and brought them to North America to be sold as slaves.

Halifax was part of the slave trade. Many American slaves fled through the “underground railway” to Canada for refuge.
