Information About

New England Planters




The Planters were the first major group of English -speaking immigrants in Canada who did not come directly from Great Britain. Most of the Planters were Protestant Congregationalist s, in contrast to the largely Roman Catholic Acadians . They were soon joined by the United Empire Loyalists leaving the New England colonies after the American War Of Independence . This influx greatly dimished the Planter influence in Nova Scotia.
