Hello this is Rebecca Nokatomi blogging live from the loyalists point of view. Since loyalists were kicked out of their Quebec houses by the patriots, they went to Nova Scotia. They have to buy, clear, and plant a land grant, plus build a home on it. They have very little tools to do so, and winter is a humungous challenge for most of them, and they have very little food. The British help them with everyday life because the loyalists continued being loyal to the British even after the patriots gave them a lot. Life in Quebec and Nova Scotia were different for the loyalists. In Quebec loyalists got land grants by a lottery system. The British Government supported the Loyalists for a few years while they were in Nova Scotia with things like food, clothing etc. They stopped helping in 1787. Poor weather and insects created the “hungry year”. This is Rebecca Nokatomi blogging live from the Loyalist’s point of view.
