Who Were the Immigrants?
SECTION TWO - The other side of the cotton
From: A Distinct Alien Race
$1.60
The standard theory claims that most of the Canadien immigrants to New England were debt-strapped farmers, but this is not the only important story about Franco-American origins in Québec; the story of the debt-strapped farmer might account for those who intended to return to Québec, but it does not account for those who came to New England to stay. This chapter explores the various stories of Canadiens who settled in New England.
