Imperial Immigrants
Author: Michael E. Vance
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1459704002
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
The impact of the British Empire on the history of the Upper Ottawa Valley is explored through the experiences of early emigration-assisted 19th-century Scottish immigrants. Between 1815 and 1832, Great Britain settled more than 3,500 individuals, mostly from the Scottish Lowlands, in the Ottawa Valley. These government-assisted emigrations, which began immediately after the Napoleonic Wars, are explored to reveal their impact on Upper Canada. Seeking to transform their lives and their society, early Scots settlers crossed the Atlantic for their own purposes. Although they did not blindly serve the interests of empire builders, their settlement led to the dispossession of the original First Nation inhabitants, thus supporting the British imperial government’s strategic military goals. After transferring homeland religious and political conflict to the colony, Scottish settlers led the demand for political reform that emerged in the 1830s. As a consequence, their migration and settlement reveals as much about the depth of social conflict in the homeland and in the colonies as it does about the preoccupations of the British imperial state.

Author: Robert Bennett Campbell
Publisher: Mika Publishing Company
ISBN:
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 662
Book Description
This book traces the roots of certain Kennedys, MacDiarmids, Munros, and other Scottish families who settled in the counties of Glengarry and Stormont in the easternmost part of the province of Ontario. The Munros descended from David and Nancy Munro who remained loyal to England after the American War of Independance. They were given a land grant in Canada. The Kennedys descended from Hugh Kennedy, who immigrated in 1903-1904, perhaps as a disbanded soldier. Most of the MacDiarmids and McDermids of this book came between 1795-1805. Includes related families.
