Book Description
"In 1820 and 1821 a group of several thousand Scottish people moved into the New Lanark Settlement in Ontario, under the auspices of the British government. Many of them were unemployed weavers who had suffered hardship as a result of Britain's faltering economy following the end of the Napoleonic War. These people were given land in the townships of Dalhousie, Lanark, North Sherbrooke and Ramsay. They came to Upper Canada as members of more than forty emigration societies. In this book, Carol Bennett outlines the conditions which existed in Scotland at that time, the way in which this group emigration was handled and what the people found when they arrived in this country. The individual families have been listed, along with all available information about the ships they traveled on, place of origin, location in Lanark County and names of family members" -- Back cover.

Book Description
Between 1815 and 1832, Great Britain settled more than 3,500 individuals, mostly from the Scottish Lowlands, in the Ottawa Valley. These government-assisted emigrations, which began immediately after the Napoleonic Wars, are explored to reveal their impact on Upper Canada. Seeking to transform their lives and their society, early Scots settlers crossed the Atlantic for their own purposes. Although they did not blindly serve the interests of empire builders, their settlement led to the dispossession of the original First Nation inhabitants, thus supporting the British imperial government's strategic military goals. After transferring homeland religious and political conflict to the colony, Scottish settlers led the demand for political reform that emerged in the 1830s. As a consequence, their migration and settlement reveals as much about the depth of social conflict in the homeland and in the colonies as it does about the preoccupations of the British imperial state.
