Founding of Halifax, Nova Scotia sparks Indigenous resistance

On June 21, 1749, British colonists founded the town of Halifax in the province of Nova Scotia. General Edward Cornwallis's founding of the city sparked resistance from the local Indigenous Mi'kmaq and some French-speaking Acadians in the area. French Catholic Priest Jean-Louis Le Loutre organized Mi'kmaq attacks on the British, which would continue through the French and Indian War. The Mi'kmaq would later sign a series of peace treaties with the British known as the Peace and Friendship Treaties, and the Acadians would be deported from Nova Scotia in 1755. Learn more about Fr. Le Loutre and the history of Halifax.
