Impacts on the French Canadiens Predictions?

Impacts on the French Canadiens Quebec had more British settlers (10%) Loyalists who moved there wanted British laws and customs in Quebec Canadiens worried about their rights that were protected in the Quebec Act

Impact on First Nations Predictions?

Impact on First Nations Loyalists came from the Thirteen Colonies, where their primary job was farming Britain began negotiating treaties with First Nations to take over their land in order to give to the Loyalists for settlement and farming.

Impact on First Nations The Royal Proclamation said that the First Nations had to agree to give up their land, but this did not always happen Language barriers made it easy to take advantage of the First Nations

Canada a People’s History: The Loyalists

Loyalists Want Change – Nova Scotia Loyalists settled with other British settlers who had taken over Acadian land They felt different and isolated compared to other settlers in Nova Scotia Loyalists who colonized along the St. John River petitioned Britain for their own, separate colony, New Brunswick

Loyalists Wanted Change - Quebec Loyalists in Quebec petitioned the British government for British laws and customs instead of French laws and customs Quebec Act 1774 had secured French rights The British government responded with The Constitutional Act of 1791

Britain's Response to the Loyalists 1791 - Constitutional Act Divided Quebec into Upper Canada and Lower Canada Established British law in Upper Canada Reaffirmed the Quebec Act for Lower Canada

Britain's Response to the Loyalists 1791 - Constitutional Act Set aside land for the Protestant churches and guaranteed Canadiens rights to the Catholic Church Established a representative government

Representative Government In a representative government, citizens elect representatives to an assembly and the assembly speaks for citizens. It “represents” them.
