About Quebec and Nova Scotia in Canadian history

/kloc-In the 7th century, the whole province of Nova Scotia and parts of Quebec, New Brunswick and Maine formed the Acadia region of Canada, which was also one of the focuses of the struggle for interests of British and French colonists in history.

After the Seven Years' War, Britain and France signed the Paris Peace Treaty in 1763, France ceded French Canada to Britain, and Britain issued the Royal Declaration in the same year 1763, formally establishing Quebec. This decree stipulates that the whole province should be limited to the banks of the St. Lawrence River.

Britain passed the Quebec Act in 1774, which expanded the scope of Quebec to include the Great Lakes, the Ohio River basin and the southern part of Rupert's land, and basically restored the border of the province during French rule.

After the American War of Independence, the Treaty of Paris signed by Britain and the United States in 1783 stipulated that the territory south of the Great Lakes should be under the jurisdiction of the United States. [179/kloc-0] After the promulgation of the constitutional bill in, Quebec was divided into two parts, namely, Lower Canada (Quebec today) and Upper Canada (Ontario today).

As for why the United States did not recapture this area after the American War of Independence, it is very simple. After independence, the United States was trapped in internal affairs and diplomacy and lacked strength. It has been trying to consolidate the newly established regime and has no time to expand abroad.

Then why didn't these two provinces take part in the war of independence?

A: British and French immigrants and their descendants are in the majority in this area. After Britain gained control of this area, it strengthened its control over this area, so it did not participate.
