Loyalists, who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War, settled in Quebec primarily due to the upheaval and persecution they faced in the newly formed United States. After the war, many were displaced, and Quebec offered a refuge with its British colonial governance and land grants. Additionally, the region's French-speaking population and established British presence provided a familiar environment for these Loyalists seeking to maintain their loyalty to Britain.

Why did the loyalists migrate to Nova Scotia?

Immediately after the American Revolution, most Loyalists went to Nova Scotia, although some went to Quebec and a few others settled in parts of what is now Ontario. The drawback to moving to Quebec was primarily one of language. (Quebec was French-speaking, while English had been the language of the Loyalist colonials.) There was also little available prime land, and a relatively harsh climate. Nova Scotia had plenty of good land to offer, a better climate, and an established British form of government with which the Loyalists were already familiar. Ontario was, for the most part, still wilderness, although many Loyalists did settle on the Canadian side of the Niagara River.
