- Miss are you okay?!
- Many people have been sick from the coffin ship because there was diseases.
- No...Please I need help.Cough...Cough
- We will be there soon.
- It took a few days to travel to Quebec.
- I'm off to Quebec
- Off you go folks.
- I can't believe we made it!
- Like I said before cruises were not pleasant at all. Many people suffered from great sicknesses. There was no medical care on these boats as well.
- Well everyone has gotten off the coffin ship, It's time to go.
- Right away sir.
- Britain's colonies provided places for many people to move and start over. Some stopped in Quebec, some in New York and some in Boston.
- Aren't you excited a whole new life!
- Finally the coffin ship had settled into British North America.
- Yes! A whole new life to start over and be successful!
- The First Great Migration took place from 1910 to 1930 and the Second Great Migration was from 1941 to 1970.
- British North America received a huge wave of people coming in looking to start a new life. Nearly 800,000 people. It got pretty confusing at the time because the languages were pretty mixed up.
- This made a HUGE impact on us living in Canada today. First of all our official language is English! Out of all these immigrants who moved 60% were British(English speaking) and the people living in British North America spoke French. We basically changed there language! However our second official language is French that's why we are bilingual.
- Of course I am but I'm more excited to be off that terrible boat ride!
-
- I know! Isn't it just so exciting!
