Canada in 1791 |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| After the American Revolution started in 1776, many colonists loyal to Great Britain left the American colonies for eastern Canada. In 1784, responding to these settlers’ demands for a separate colony, the British government created New Brunswick out of western Nova Scotia. Later, the Constitutional Act of 1791 divided Québec into two colonies: Lower Canada, inhabited mostly by French settlers, and Upper Canada, occupied by a majority English population. | ||||||
