This is the historic East Coast of Canada. The three Maritime provinces is where it all began and is the beating heart of Canada. Acadia became British with the conquest of the great Fortress of Louisburg on Cape Breton in 1749. Scottish settlers, forced off their lands by the Enclosure Movement, settled in such numbers that, to this day, pipers, highland games, and Bobbie Burns is alive and well. New Brunswick came into its own with the American Revolution as hundreds of British ships transported tens of thousands of desperate people to safety. PEI is where Canada came together in 1864 and formulated a common appeal of the various Canadian colonies to Britain to grant independence, which came into existence in 1867. History is everywhere in this part of Canada; one trips over it at every turning.
