For fugitive slaves, Mexico offered a sanctuary from U.S. slavery. Mexico abolished slavery in 1829; never policed its borders very effectively; and at times, actively welcomed runaways. Northeastern Mexico was sparsely populated and attracted few immigrants and welcomed slave fugitives who could help defend its border. The nation also welcomed free blacks, offering them full citizenship rights—unlike the United States. Consequently, starting in the 1820s and 1830s, some free blacks began to immigrate there. The Texas Revolution and subsequent U.S. annexation of Texas made it less welcoming to free blacks, who became subjected to greater restrictions after the United States acquired the region. But some free blacks continued to migrate to Texas after 1836, and both free blacks and fugitive slaves migrated to Mexico after 1845.

  • The Loyalist Origins of Canada's Identity Crisis
    Condemned to Rootlessness: The Loyalist Origins of Canada's Identity Crisis Introduction In the view of the English-speaking Canadian media, Canada has an identity crisis, a situation attributable to divisions within the Canadian body politic that are regularly expressed in constitutional bickering between Quebec and the Rest of Canada and between the provinces and the federal government.1 Yet the identity crisis in the lifeworld of the average English-Canadian appears to possess a somewhat different quality. The following statement from Rod Lamirand, a resident of Surrey, B.C., expresses the subjectivity of this existential unease with remarkable accuracy: 'We [our family] were isolated, self-sufficient, cut off from a close community and from our pasts...Our family was not drawn into a neighborhood of friends because of a shared difference from mainstream society. We didn't have a name for the cultural majority because for the most part they were us. We were part of the dominant cultural society and we had no real culture. The great wash of pale European blood that saturated this continent was uniform in color only. Much of what survived is a hodgepodge of eclectic, meaningless routines...We were the product of white bread and instant coffee, Hollywood and the CBC....'2 (emphasis added) The connection between the Canadian identity crisis mentioned in the English-Canadian media and Lamirand's statement might appear distant. Surely, one might ask, the latter reflects a problem that should be labeled 'English-Canadian' rather than 'Canadian.' It is the position of this paper, however, that the discourses of English-Canadian and Canadian identity are inextricably bound.

    CCHAPTERHAPTER 1:1: IINTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION In This Chapter: Historical Setting - History & Memories Location in the County & Region - Location & Description, Municipal Boundaries Regional Influences on the Township - Accessibility, Urban Development, Transportation, Recreation and Cultural Facilities PORT HURON TOWNSHIP MASTER PLAN INTRODUCTION The information presented here is a combination of input from citizens and elected and appointed officials, as well as Township Planning Commission members and staff, along with the assistance and guidance of the St. Clair County Planning Commission. It contains statistical data and information, both past and present, that can give some insight for our future. While we cannot definitively project future development, we can try to help determine efficient and effective ways of managing and shaping the way our Township develops. In concert with that thought, this plan also includes a chapter on a Vision for the Township which includes both goals and objectives. This can help us focus on what we would like development to look like when it comes, and to give direction to developers on the expectations we have as a community. Knowing that these goals and objectives have been developed by our citizens gives them guidance as to what is desirable and marketable to our residents and therefore profitable to them. While many master plans contain an overwhelming amount of statistical information, we hope to provide a fair amount of usable information in the form of maps, charts and tables that demonstrate logical and historical reasons and trends for what has taken place in the Township and how we can benefit from that in our future.

    Cumberland Planters and the Aftermath of the Attack on Fort Cumberland Ernest A. Clarke Halifax, Nova Scotia "There are many timorous and weak persons among us, who aw'd by fear, are drove to do what they would avoid, if they durst." John Eagleson, Anglican missionary and acting chaplain of Fort Cumberland, describing Cumberland Planters during the rebellion.1 ***** "O most mighty God," prayed the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel missionary at Windsor. "Ruler of Heaven and Earth," prayed the Rev. William Ellis as H.M.S. Vulture sailed out Minas Basin to relieve Fort Cumberland in November 1776. "Re-unite the Divided interests and Distracted minds of our Countrymen. Defend us from Seditious rage at home and from the Designs of all our...enemies, wheresoever they may be!"2 A good many of the distracted wheresoevers were, even as Ellis prayed, surrounding Fort Cumberland where sedition had raged through the Planter community, for the past year and where the fort had been under attack for a month by a band of 180 guerrillas led by the self styled Colonel Jonathan Eddy.3 Inside the fort were about the same number of defenders: a garrison of provincial troops, the Royal Fencible Americans, and two dozen or more 1 Eagleson to John Butler, 27 January 1776, Public Archives of Canada (PAC), MG 11, Vol.95, 112-7. 2 Prayer, Discourses and Sermons of the Rev.

  • The United Empire Loyalist Settlement in British North America, 1775–1812
    Echa Przeszłości XXI/1, 2020 ISSN 1509–9873 DOI 10.31648/ep.6139 Mateusz Bogdanowicz Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski w Olsztynie Hope Restored: the United Empire Loyalist Settlement in British North America, 1775–1812 Streszczenie: Artykuł analizuje procesy przesiedleńcze tzw. Zjednoczonych Lojalistów Imperialnych (United Empire Loyalists) z nowopowstałych Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki do Brytyjskiej Ameryki Północnej. Ocenie poddane zostały osadnictwo, kwestie polityczne i społeczne jak również wyzwa- nia natury logistycznej stojące przed już istniejącymi prowincjami kanadyjskimi – punktem docelo- wym lojalistów. Przedstawiono także proces powstawania (specjalnie na potrzeby lojalistów) prowincji Nowy Brunszwik oraz Górnej Kanady. Dodatkowym elementem badań są losy i zagadnienia związane z lojalistami rekrutującymi się spośród Indian i Murzynów amerykańskich, ich repatriacją i pomocą rządu brytyjskiego w tej operacji. Słowa kluczowe: Lojaliści, Kanada, prowincje, wojna o niepodległość, przesiedlenia, Zjednoczone Królestwo History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon. Napoleon Bonaparte The article is an attempt at a brief analysis and evaluation of the United Empire Loyalists (UELs) relocation process to Canada. It also evaluates their impact on shaping Canada’s political, economic and social profiles as well as on the regional stratification of the Anglophone element within the Canadian population between the American War of Independence and the War of 1812. The dates 1775 and 1812/1815 seem perfect for trac- ing the trends and progress of the Loyalist re-settlement to Canada and their development of the new Canadian provinces, their administration, society and economy. The period makes thirty years, i.e. a whole generation; it provides a proper insight into the tendencies which proved constant and influential in the historical development of Canada.
