Date: April 29th, 2024 4:05 PM Author: well-lubricated fantasy-prone athletic conference son of senegal Do Canadians believe they made the right choice or what? What do their history books say? Seems like they had the misfortune of being the only NA territory England cared to defend that badly. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5522786&forum_id=2#47619012) |

Dynamics were different, population vastly smaller and settlements more recent, also had the French and Indian presence to keep them loyal to Crown protection. Did not view Britain with hostility nor sought self-rule. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5522786&forum_id=2#47619038) |

Date: April 29th, 2024 4:25 PM Author: well-lubricated fantasy-prone athletic conference son of senegal Canada had only just become British, and the British thought that was a huge deal back then. Some kind of endowment effect, where the colonies become more valuable if you won them in a war against France recently. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5522786&forum_id=2#47619080) |

You're ignoring how severely small the populations were across the vast space that is Canada at the time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5522786&forum_id=2#47619086) |

There's no way you could have looked at the Maine coast and thought "that's going to be more prestigious than Newfoundland." Southern colonies had a few white people and lots of slaves. But more to the point, why would that even matter? Being less populated = British rule not so bad? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5522786&forum_id=2#47619098) |
