French and British Wars

The War Of 1812

 

By 1812, tensions between Britain and The United States had heated up again. War soon begun. British North America was the battleground. British soldiers, local militia, and First Nations allies fought hard against the invaders. They won many key battles.  In April 1813, though, a fleet of American ships in Lake Ontario shot cannon fire at the town of York. American soldiers looted York’s shops and houses. When the war ended it made the both the sides had to return the land they had gained, and they decided to make the 49 parallel of latitude, which is used in maps today.

Migration

1815-1850 The Great Migration

1815

 

After the war, Britain was eager to open up the backwoods to farming. It planned to fill its colonies with people from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Between 1815 and 1850, more than 800 000 immigrants came to ports of Halifax, Saint John, and Quebec City. They wanted to migrate because in Britain the population was growing rapidly, but jobs were scarce. Farmers were being forced of the land. Poverty and hunger were common. Ireland suffered a terrible famine, forcing many rural people to flee. Immigrants  traveled from Britain to Canada by ship. This caused 800,000 immigrants to come to Canada, resulting in large population growth
