-=== Emigration from Canada  ===
-*The first large emigration from Canada was between 1755 and 1758 when 6,000 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadian_French '''French Acadians'''] were deported from Nova Scotia. Some settled temporarily in other American colonies and in France. Many eventually found permanent homes in Louisiana, where they were called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajun "Cajuns."] A few returned to the Maritime Provinces.
-*During the [http://www.geo.msu.edu/geogmich/michigan_fever.html '''"Michigan Fever"''''] of the 1830s, large numbers of Canadians streamed westward across the border. About one in four Michigan families finds a direct connection to Ontario.
-*By the late 1840s, over 20,000 Canadians and newly landed foreign immigrants moved to the United States each year. * The[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Gold_Rush '''California Gold Rush'''] attracted many, beginning in 1849.
-*After 1850, the tide of migration still flowed from Canada to the United States. Newly arrived immigrants tended not to stay in Canada very long. Between 1851 and 1951, there were up to 80 emigrants, both natives of Canada and others, who left Canada for every 100 immigrants who arrived. A few immigrants returned to their native lands or went elsewhere, but '''many eventually went to the United States after brief periods of settlement in Canada.'''
-*Canadians from the '''Atlantic Provinces''' often went to '''New England'''. At least two million '''descendants of French Canadians''' now live in '''Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont'''. Many also live in '''New York and the Midwestern states'''.
-*The Canadian government did not keep lists of emigrants. Before 1947, there was no Canadian citizenship separate from British, and '''Canadians moved freely throughout the British Empire'''. Before 1895, when the United States government began keeping border-crossing records, '''Canadians moved to the United States with few restrictions'''.
