Personal Narrative: Native American Colonies

In the American colonies between 1763 and 1775, a burning desire for freedom and to rid themselves of the perpetual taxation sparked within the aggravated colonists; leading to the people of the thirteen colonies to declare their separation from Great Britain.

O Canada With disbandment of the regiment, labelled as a rebel, and the shock of having your land signed off by your government in the Treaty of Paris, nearly all the King’s fighting men headed for the Canadas which afforded protections and British guarantees of a future life.
