History of Canada: British North America
built 234 days ago
At the peak of its short-lived history, the Grand Lodge of British North America chartered four Grand Lodges and twenty-eight Odd Fellow Lodges under their respective jurisdictions. In addition, because this Grand Body served all of Canada, one Odd Fellow Lodge located in Nova Scotia was granted a charter. However, the burden of this organization may have been too heavy or the novelty of membership in the Order may have worn off on the senior officials of the Grand Lodge of British North America. They defaulted on their responsibilities to the subordinate members of the Order. All lodges in the city of Montreal formally disbanded in 1853. The debts of the Grand Lodge were paid by the subordinate lodges remaining.

As the author's blurb in the back of this book points out, Paul Cowan is a Scottish-born immigrant to Canada and an award-winning journalist who has written extensively on the history of the Scottish people in North America. In this, the first of Dragon Hill's 'How the (fill-in-the-blank) Created Canada', Cowan makes the case for his fellow countrymen - and women - as being the people most responsible for the evolution of what was long known as British North America into the Canada we know today.

One cannot speak of Canadian history without including the United States. The American Revolution reduced British North America to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. In 1784, Britain created New Brunswick, and Quebec became Lower and Upper Canada in 1791.
