Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1928 Miss Cowan published in the series "University of Toronto Studies, History and Economics" her first work on population movements: British Emigration to British North America, 1783-1837. This study has remained a standard reference on its subject and for some time has been available for purchase only through second-hand channels. In the intervening years Miss Cowan maintained an active interest in this field of history; for the present volume she has revised the earlier study in the light of her own and others' investigations and has expanded her discussion to include another quarter-century. The book is an attempt to give students and general readers something of the story of the outpouring of British subjects who peopled British North America in the years before Confederation. Economic dislocations coincident with the Napoleonic Wars and the industrial and agricultural revolutions were causing a vast uprooting of population. At the same time, the beginning of political and humanitarian reform brought a demand for assistance in poor relief, for land, labour and other improvements at home and for government aid in emigrating to the colonies. The author describes the various policies of governments on emigration, the activities of timber, mercantile and land companies which became greatly interested in the flow of population overseas, and the efforts of individual and societies to held the needy who took part in this epic movement.

Download or read book Emigration from the United Kingdom to North America 1763 1912 written by Stanley Currie Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1913, this valuable and scholarly work is an account of the flow of population from the British Isles to the United States and Canada during the nineteenth century and the author's extensive researches into government reports and papers has brought together a great deal of material which gives his book an important place as an authority on British emigration. The work begins with a short historical survey in which the author discusses the causes of emigration before treating the subject topically as a series of political and economic problems. He gives a detailed account of the transport and reception of emigrants, of emigration restrictions and colonisation schemes, and of the emigration of women and children, and presents with much force the conflict of interests that grew up between England and her colonies respecting migration. This must still be regarded as an authoritative work on the subject and its bibliography will be of great value to all students of the period.

This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Emigration to North America Projects and Opinions in the Early Victorian Period When En g, land with the sixteenth-century loss of Calais, gave up her ambition for provinces in France, she receded from the main land, and settled back as an agricultural country off the coast of Europe. But as the door was closed towards the continent, it was opened towards the sea. Although other European states already held sway over large colonial possessions, novel accident, natural advantage, or native acumen allowed the island kingdom to become the nucleus for the world's foremost empire. And although Britain developed remarkably stable, yet unusually elastic, institutions, thousands of her citizens found religious, political, or social reasons for leaving their homeland. The economic motive was perhaps an even greater stimulator of emigration; While the rapidly growing commercial spirit especially encouraged the colonization impulse. Once established, commerce and colonies became dual forces which more and more were to dominate the actions and mould the lives of the British people. As the aura of respectability was thrown around commercial activities, so, to a lesser degree, emigration and colonization came to be acknowledged as legi timate undertakings. Anglo-saxons flowed to every continent and established settlements gover - looking every ocean, and, long before Victorian times, made Britain into Europe's leading commercial and imperial, as well as colonial, power.

Book excerpt: The British Isles provided more overseas settlers than any country in continental Europe during the nineteenth century, but English emigrants to North America have remained largely invisible, partly for lack of records about their departure or their experiences.
