    Introduction to Season 2

    Season 2 continues the introduction to the world into which Ottawa would be born.  This starts with the shift from French to English Imperialism, and the Crown finds itself in the middle of relations between Indigenous nations and American Rebels, and then gradual settlement of eastern Ontario until the roots of Bytown take permanent hold.

    The Revolution Next Door

    So... About 1776 and all that... We've all heard about the American Revolution, but what did that mean for those who didn't think it was such a great idea at the time?  Loyalist people and Loyalist colonies had different experiences than those celebrated by our Yankee neighbours on the 4th of July. The American Revolution created a refugee crisis that we'll be looking at for the next couple of episodes.

    The Loyalists Come North

    United Empire Loyalists were on the move.  To England, to Florida and the Caribbean, but also northward to the Loyalist colonies of Nova Scotia and Quebec.  They were to come in such numbers that two new provinces would end up being invented just to administer them!  Ontario would begin its trek to eventually become the centre for the British presence in the Americas.
