Description
"Between 1789 and 1815 dozens of sovereignties in Europe were extinguished. Small states of the Holy Roman Empire were incorporated within larger ones whose dukes were sometimes elevated to kings, as in Bavaria and Wűerttemberg. Montbéliard, the one French-speaking Lutheran state in Europe, was swallowed up by France in 1793. Montbéliard was peopled by a mixture of families settled there from medieval times?Wűerttembergers brought there in the service of its dukes, Swiss, refugee Huguenots from France, and Mennonites. These groups came to have a shared identity as Montbéliardais and spoke of the small principality as le pays, the land. During the eighteenth century schemes were put in motion by the British government to attract reliable settlers to their North American possessions. One project at mid-century engaged John Dick, a Scottish merchant at Rotterdam, to recruit and ship foreign Protestants to Nova Scotia. The first British attempt at settlement?Halifax (1749)?was failing to retain its English settlers who were removing to longer-settled colonies. Dick?s task was to find new settlers for Nova Scotia. Between 1750 and 1752 he shipped about 2,500 people to the colony. One-sixth of them were drawn from Montbéliard." --,from the publisher.
