AbstractDepicted on this map is British North America less than one
hundred years after the fall of New France. It also shows the emergence
of British influence prior to Confederation. British North America circa 1823
was comprised of Lower Canada, Upper Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince
Edward Island, and Newfoundland (including the Labrador Coast). The Northwest
Territories were considered British possessions, while the Hudson’s Bay
Company controlled Rupert’s Land. The United States and Britain jointly
administered the Oregon Territory. This map along with New France circa
1740 shows the settlement and population in Canada for two important periods
in Canadian history prior to Confederation.
