The Influence of New France and the American Revolution
Exploring the impact of New France on the American Revolution, the chapter discusses the contrasting sentiments in Canada and the 13 colonies, British endorsement of French Canadians' legal system, and the availability of free land in British Canada. It delves into reasons for emigration from the colonies, the economic impact of the American Revolution, British alliance with Native Americans, challenges during the War of 1812, and the economic interdependence between the United States and Britain. The chapter also speculates on a Union invasion of Canada post U.S. Civil War, creation of the Dominion of Canada, and the history of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland potentially joining the United States.
