A Rich Uncle from the States?

SECTION TWO - The other side of the cotton

From: A Distinct Alien Race

$2.30

Despite the poor housing conditions in the mill towns, Canadiens continued to come to New England seduced by tales of fabulous salaries. This chapter examines the myth of Franco-American prosperity and relations between Quebecois and Franco-Americans, and movements between Quebec and the United States. It also looks at the developments of Little Canadas in New England, and why emigration was so common.
