| Description |
Shelburne County Museum, Shelburne, Nova Scotia. Artifacts from Loyalist settlers of Shelburne. In the late 18th Century, the influx into Canada of thousands of "United Empire Loyalists" (former residents of the American colonies who remained loyal to the British king during the Revolution) briefly made Shelburne the largest city on the North American continent. However, the region's geographic isolation and poor soil quickly drove most of the newcomers away, and within a few decades Shelburne was a sleepy fishing and shipbuilding port again. Musée du comté de Shelburne, Shelburne, Nouvelle-Écosse. Des artefacts des colons loyalistes de Shelburne. À la fin du XVIIIe siècle, l'afflux au Canada de milliers de «Loyalistes de l'Empire-Uni» (des anciens résidents des colonies qui on appelle aujourd'hui les États-Unis qui sont restés fidèles au roi britannique pendant la Révolution) ont rendu Shelburne pendant une brève période la plus grande ville sur le continent nord-américain. Cependant, l'isolement géographique et la pauvreté du sol de la région ont chassé rapidement la plupart des nouveaux arrivants, et dans quelques décennies Shelburne était à nouveau un port exsangue de pêche et de la construction navale. Museo del Condado de Shelburne, Shelburne, Nueva Escocia. Unos artefactos de los colonos lealistas de Shelburne. Al fin del siglo XVIII, la llegada a Canadá de miles de "Lealistas del Imperio Unido" (antiguos residentes de las colonias que se llama ahora los Estados Unidos que permanecieron leales al rey británico durante la Revolución) hizo Shelburne, durante un breve período, la ciudad más grande en el continente norteamericano. Sin embargo, el aislamiento geográfico y la pobreza del suelo de la región ahyuentaron rápidamente a la mayoría de los recién llegados, y dentro de unas pocas décadas Shelburne era un puerto soñoliento de pescadores y construcción naval de nuevo. |
