African-Nova Scotian History By Lindy Isner Black Nova Scotians began to arrive in the province as early as 1606 when a slave from Portugal named Matthew de Costa immigrated to Port Royal, a French settlement. Before the Loyalists began to settle in Nova Scotia, slavery existed in the region. Most of the slaves were located at French Louisbourg, the English capitol of Annapolis, as well as Halifax. Not all Nova Scotians during the pre-Loyalist period were slaves, a lot of early Black settlers worked as domestics for the wealthy. (Grant, 6-7; Thomson, 1) Around the mid to late 1700s, a group of Jamaican slaves began arriving in Halifax. This group was named "Maroons", which meant fugitive slaves taking to the woods. (Pachai Bridglal, Beneath the Clouds… 56) The Maroons earned their name because they were a group of African descent slaves in Jamaica who rebelled against the system in that country. Many Maroons settled in Preston and Guysborough. In 1800 the Maroons were relocated from Nova Scotia due to many factors. The Jamaican government which was subsidizing the Maroons put an end to the subsidization. The winters were harsh for the Jamaican ethnic group. Most Maroons left Nova Scotia and settled in Sierra Leone . Those mainly left settled in Tracdie. (Henry, 24) In April 1814, a proclamation invited American slaves to "defect to the British side in return for freedom and a promise of a new home in a British Colony". ( Pachai, Bridglal, The Spirit of…, 113) During the time the war between the United States and British North America was pursuing. As a result of the proclamation some 2000 slave refugees were sent to Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotia History, The Cabot Trail Cape Breton Highlands, The history of the Cabot Trail begins with the Micmacs, who were the first inhabitants of the region. The name Micmac means "my kin-friends", these Natives lived throughout Cape Breton Island in small groups prior to being placed on reserves. In the year 1497 the first Europeans, led by the famed explorer John Cabot arrived on Cape Breton. Cabot's discovery of the island led to it's eventual settlement by Europeans, mainly by the Scots, Irish, French and English. This mixture of cultures remains on the the island to this day. Many of these European settlers came to the region in an attempt to escape persecution in their homelands. During the Acadian Expulsion, a number of the French escaped to Prince Edward Island and the Magdalene Islands. They later crossed over and settled in Cape Breton. Many of the English who settled in Cape Breton arrived as refugees after the American Revolution, when being a loyalist meant confiscation of lands, social ostracism and possible death. Thousands fled in the years after the revolution, many of whom were given land grants from the British government as a reward for their loyalty. T he mid 1700's brought major changes to the Highlands of Scotland with the end of the Highland Clan System, increased population and a dim future. Many sought a better place to live and new opportunities. For these reasons many Scot's left their homelands and made new homes in Cape Breton. Cape Breton has since become a stronghold of Gaelic culture, some say more fiercely Scottish than Scotland. In the final years of the 18th Century, early

The founding of Weymouth in 1783 was no accident. That year, the Treaty of Paris ended The American Revolution and thousands of people loyal to the British crown left New England for Europe, England and other communities in British North America. Nova Scotia was an obvious destination and Weymouth was one of many coastal communities that saw a large influx of New England settlers immediately following the American War of Independence. Moody arrived in Weymouth in June, 1786 with a fistful of money from the British government, compensation for his military duties during the Revolution. Moody was a community builder, and is considered by many as one of the founding fathers of Weymouth. Moody built a shipyard, donated land for an Anglican church (at Weymouth North) and assisted local Acadians in receiving clear title to their land. Despite the fact that Moody was a slaveholder, he possessed outstanding leadership qualities and is considered one of the best of the Loyalist leaders. Among the thousands of people who left New England after the American Revolution, was an estimated 5,000 Black people (about 3,000 Black Loyalists) who sailed from New York to Nova Scotia, the West Indies, Quebec, England, Germany and Belgium. About 3,500 of these newly freed slaves, former slaves or slaves of White Loyalists, landed in Nova Scotia, establishing communities in Birchtown, Annapolis Royal, Port Mouton and Weymouth.

Silicon Glen, Scotland Celtic FAQ Cape Breton/Nova Scotia History Trust me, Craig, you'll never read a more wonderful description of the Highland history of Cape Breton and Nova Scotia than the following from the Author's Note of Hugh MacLennan's "Each Man's Son" (1951, Little, Brown and Company. Boston): "Continents are much alike, and a man can no more love a continent than he can love a hundred million people. But all the islands of the world are different. They are small enough to be known, they are vulnerable, and men come to feel about them as they do about women. Many men have loved the island of Cape Breton and a few may have hated her. Ericson was probably the first to see her, Cabot landed on her, and after Cabot came the French. She seemed harsh and frigid to the first new-comers, but the moment the French saw her their imaginations were touched and they called her the Royal Isle. After a while they built on her eastern rim the master fortress of Louisbourg to dominate Nova Scotia and guard the St. Lawrence (River). When the wars began, the English and the New Englanders came up to Cape Breton and for a time she was as famous as Gibraltar. Louisbourg fell, the French were driven out, the English and Americans went home and for a third of a century the island was vacant again.

King James of Scotland heard of a fur trade on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. It belonged to the French settlers living in Acadia. Acadia is now known as Nova Scotia. The King knew that John Cabot had found Nova Scotia before the French. He thought England should have rights to it. King James' men took over the colony, and the French settlers were driven out. A charter was made. In 1621, New Scotland was given to Sir William Alexander. Sir William was related to many important people in Scotland. He was heir to the title of Baron of Menstrie. The charter was written in Latin. In Latin, Nova Scotia means New Scotland.
