Guyana, Jamaica, Britain, India, Australia.Where would the loyalists go, if not Southern Ontario?
The butterflies from them settling in Australia would be fascinating.Guyana, Jamaica, Britain, India, Australia.
They were in OTL, and may still be here, but the U.S. is in a stronger position politically as are the French Canadians. Might not want to settle all of the loyalists in a place that could be the next to fall.The butterflies from them settling in Australia would be fascinating.
Why wouldn't the Maritimes be an option though?
I guess settling the loyalists in the Maritimes would not do much to reinforce the region for the British.They were in OTL, and may still be here, but the U.S. is in a stronger position politically as are the French Canadians.

It would help, but not as much. Maybe more effort would be put into settling parts of Quebec. Think Sherbrooke and Drummondville on steroids.I guess settling the loyalists in the Maritimes would not do much to reinforce the region for the British.
Would resident Quebeciors tolerate that though?It would help, but not as much. Maybe more effort would be put into settling parts of Quebec. Think Sherbrooke and Drummondville on steroids.
I doubt they would. Either the loyalists live under French law, or there's another colonial independence war when the Quebec Act is repealed.Would resident Quebeciors tolerate that though?

THey would not like it, and so are unlikely to settle in "Quebec" in great numbers in my opinion. Rebelling would sort of defeat the purpose of having been a loyalist though.Would the loyalists tolerate living under French law?

Oh totally. The smith from Lake George would totally rib his former neighbor when selling him weapons.Be fun to watch though.
"Bloody French! How the hell can they let the French live one way, and force us to live another! This is intolerable! Who is London to make demands of us! No taxation without rep-"
<moment of clarity hits>
"Oh my god, the Yanks were right."
So I guess likely speaking some settle in Quebec, some in Maritimes, some outside of North America altogether.THey would not like it, and so are unlikely to settle in "Quebec" in great numbers in my opinion. Rebelling would sort of defeat the purpose of having been a loyalist though.
And some don't bother to leave and stick it out in the States.So I guess likely speaking some settle in Quebec, some in Maritimes, some outside of North America altogether.
