Let me get this straight: They say they escaped the United States to get to Canada?
![huh? [huh]](./images/smilies/icon_scratch.gif)
My own predecessors did that. Should I make a list of all of the refugee groups that have come here from the U.S.?
The root population of English Canada were refugees from the U.S., for one.
Same here. My Great-Great Grandfather fell in love with a slave girl and came here where she was free. Their son was given land by Queen Victoria to homestead, and it's still a family destination for those who want to use it.
... one of many groups.
I have two groups of very different EUL ancestors who both came to Upper Canada under extreme duress from Pennsylvania and New York.
BTW, I live in a small neighbourhood that was one of the termini of the Underground Railroad. It has certainly been *gentrified" since then but it is still on the tour circuit.
This country is truly the "last stop" for freedom. There is nowhere else to go from here.
