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 & isolated compared to other settlers Loyalists who settled along the St. John River petitioned Britain for their own colony: New Brunswick

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

The Constitutional Act (1791) Divided Quebec into Upper Canada and Lower Canada Established British law in Upper Canada Reaffirmed the Quebec Act for Lower Canada *Upper & lower because of location along St. Lawrence River

The Constitutional Act (1791) Set aside land for the Protestant (English) churches Guaranteed French Canadiens rights to the Catholic Church

The Constitutional Act (1791) Established a representative government In a rep gov’t, citizens elect representatives to an assembly and the assembly speaks for citizens. It “represents” them.
