Vice-Chancellor Alan Wilson said: The Duchess has provided a key element of continuity in our affairs, and acted as our ambassador on the international stage." Pro-Chancellor Colonel Alan Roberts added: -Leeds can count itself singularly fortunate to have had Her Royal Highness as its Chancellor.

Film, Television and Video Productions Featuring Brass Bands
Film, Television and Video productions featuring brass bands Gavin Holman, October 2019 Over the years the brass bands in the UK, and elsewhere, have appeared numerous times on screen, whether in feature films or on television programmes. In most cases they are small appearances fulfilling the role of a “local” band in the background or supporting a musical event in the plot of the drama. At other times band have a more central role in the production, featuring in a documentary or being a major part of the activity (e.g. Brassed Off, or the few situation comedies with bands as their main topic). Bands have been used to provide music in various long-running television programmes, an example is the 40 or more appearances of Chalk Farm Salvation Army Band on the Christmas Blue Peter shows on BBC1. Bands have taken part in game shows, provided the backdrop for and focus of various commercial advertisements, played bands of the past in historical dramas, and more. This listing of 450 entries is a second attempt to document these appearances on the large and small screen – an original list had been part of the original Brass Band Bibliography in the IBEW, but was dropped in the early 2000s. Some overseas bands are included. Where the details of the broadcast can be determined (or remembered) these have been listed, but in some cases all that is known is that a particular band appeared on a certain show at some point in time - a little vague to say the least, but I hope that we can add detail in future as more information comes to light. -

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. -
Cumberland Planters and the Aftermath of the Attack on Fort Cumberland
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.

Ellis also was a chaplain at Fort Edward. 3 The Planter community of Cumberland was an amalgam of halfpay officers, farmers, tradesmen and artisans heavily dependent on the fort for their livlihood. -
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. -

For generations, fugitives from the slave plantations of Alabama, the Carolinas, and Georgia crossed the border into Spanish Florida, where they sought official sanctuary or disappeared into the peninsula’s uncharted forests, swamps, and savannas. There, many of them fell in with American Indians, also relatively new to the region, who would become known as Seminoles. Their relationships with the Indians took many forms and have been described over the years in many ways — from slavery (similar to the Euro-American version but less brutal), to a form of vassalage in which they owed an annual tribute but were otherwise left to their own devices, to alliances between equals in which they served as trusted advisors, interpreters, and military allies. -

Abraham Van Buskirk: United Empire Loyalist opposed to the American War for Independence1 by Rolf Buschardt Christensen In 1983 when Canada celebrated the 200 th anniversary of the arrival of the Loyalists-the refugees from the American Revolution-the Canadian media reported that among the Loyalists was Abraham Van Buskirk, who was of Danish origin. That's all the media said about him; the point being that not all Loyalists were of English background. Here's his story-and the historical background, which shaped his life. There was civil war: What side should he join? When the War of Independence broke out in the English colonies in North America in 1775, Dr. Abraham Van Buskirk of Teaneck, New Jersey, had to decide whether to support the British Loyalists or join the rebels. -
