A REGION OF SCATTERED SETTLEMENTS AND BOUNDED POSSIBILITIES: NORTHEASTERN AMERICA 1775–1800
View through CrossRef
The human geography of the Canadian Maritime provinces was transformed in the late eighteenth century; before 1775, the transformation proceeded largely under the sway of New England; after 1783 it was overwhelmingly the product of Loyalist settlement; by 1800 the region had 8 or 9 times its population of 1756, four colonial jurisdictions had been carved from the original Nova Scotia, and its landscape, economy, and society revealed patterns that would persist into the twentieth century. Following a companion article on the geography of pre‐Revolutionary Nova Scotia (The Canadian Geographer 31:2), this essay considers the migration of Loyalists and others into the region, traces the development of settlements, and charts the patterns of economic development in Nova Scotia and its neighbouring colonies during the last quarter of the eighteenth century. The geography of the region in 1800 is described, and the economic, social, and geographical changes that shaped it in the late eighteenth century are seen to reflect broader patterns of North American development. A la fin du dix‐huitième siècle, la géographic humaine des provinces maritimes canadiennes fut l'objet de transformations, d'abord largement sous l'influence de la Nouvelle‐Angleterre avant 1775; puis, après 1781, grace à l'établissement des Loyalistes. En 1800, la population de la region a était multipliée 8 ou 9 fois depuis 1756, l'ancienne Nouvelle‐Ecosse avait été découpée en quatre territoires coloniaux et le paysage, l'économie et la société montraient les signes précurseurs de formes qui allaient persister jusqu'au vingtième siècle. Cet essai, venant à la suite d'un article parallèle sur la géographic de la Nouvelle‐Ecosse pré révolutionnaire paru dans le numéro 2, Vol 31, de Le Géographe canadien, traite de l'arrivée dans la region des Loyalistes et d'autres groupes. L'auteur retrace le développement du peuplement et décrit les différents aspects de l'évolution économique de la Nouvelle‐Ecosse et des colonies avoisinantes au cours du dernier quart du dix‐huitième siècle. Finalement, après avoir tracé le tableau de la géographic de la région en 1800, l'auteur conclut que les changements économiques, sociaux et géographiques qui l'ont marquéà la fin du dix‐huitième siècle reflètent les caractéristiques plus générales du développement de l'Amérique du Nord.
Title: A REGION OF SCATTERED SETTLEMENTS AND BOUNDED POSSIBILITIES: NORTHEASTERN AMERICA 1775–1800
Description:
The human geography of the Canadian Maritime provinces was transformed in the late eighteenth century; before 1775, the transformation proceeded largely under the sway of New England; after 1783 it was overwhelmingly the product of Loyalist settlement; by 1800 the region had 8 or 9 times its population of 1756, four colonial jurisdictions had been carved from the original Nova Scotia, and its landscape, economy, and society revealed patterns that would persist into the twentieth century.
Following a companion article on the geography of pre‐Revolutionary Nova Scotia (The Canadian Geographer 31:2), this essay considers the migration of Loyalists and others into the region, traces the development of settlements, and charts the patterns of economic development in Nova Scotia and its neighbouring colonies during the last quarter of the eighteenth century.
The geography of the region in 1800 is described, and the economic, social, and geographical changes that shaped it in the late eighteenth century are seen to reflect broader patterns of North American development.
