Why Loyalists Migrated to Nova Scotia After the American Revolution

  1. Revolution Failed: Loyalists (pro-British) forced to flee new USA.
  2. British Colony: Nova Scotia remained under Crown rule—familiar governance.
  3. Land & Incentives: British government offered free land and supplies.
  4. Proximity to US: Many had family/friends across the border; wanted to stay close.
