THE ARRIVAL OF THE LOYALISTS
After the American War of Independence, many Loyalists settled north of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie (in an area that is located in what is now known as the province of Ontario). They profoundly transformed the face of Canada. The Loyalists had a different language (English), a different way of life (townships), and different political beliefs (they wanted a House of Assembly). It was for these reasons that Britain passed the Constitutional Act in 1791.
