Nova Scotia remained neutral throughout the entire duration of the American Revolution and there is an array of reasons why.

Many interwoven reasons influenced and ultimately justified Nova Scotia in and during the American Revolution. However one reason that stands out most is security and lack of security that

the Indigenous people of the land, Australians had created a deep and isolated relationship with Aboriginals.

Tired, but excited because today I was getting a new dog. My family and I loaded into the van like a bunch of babies into a carriage. Pagosa Springs was the final destination.

HIST 3005 Contreras 1 Luis Contreras Sophie Tunney 12/3/2018 The Needs of the people When a form of governing a state becomes obsolete it is sometimes best to do away with that form of governance and install a new form of government. In our “Shaping Of The Modern World” textbook we can find the source “Common sense” by Thomas Paine explaining how ineffective England’s rule over the colonies is, and we can also find “Social Order And Absolute Monarchy” by Jean Domat which argues in

The late eighteenth century saw the removal of the Acadians from their homesteads after the inhabitants’ refusal to swear an Oath to the British Crown; an oath that would have possibly meant marching against their fellow comrades and family members. Out of all the documents presented, the document written by the suffering displaced Acadian, John Baptiste Galrem is my choice of most credible, while the letter by Charles Lawrence is the least. The Acadians faced many hardships including being accused

The historiography of the American Loyalists has changed significantly since 1960 as the field has gradually expanded and recognized the diversity and complexity of Loyalism. Scholars who partook in the field’s expansion were influenced both by their contemporary world as well as the belief that there were various benefits in examining Loyalism from new vantage points. In this study I examine the changes that have taken place in the field since 1960, and then discuss the principal reasons for these
