1772 - 1775 Economic Depression in Britain
« on: Monday 19 May 08 02:01 BST (UK) »
Between 1772 - 1775 there was severe economic depression in England. A thousand Yorkshiremen headed for Nova Scotia www.ayup.co.uk/knows/knows11.html and Josiah Wedgwood employed a new clerk and introduced Cost Accountancy to his business http://acct.tamu.edu/giroux/FIRST.html

Covenanters left Belfast as there were great offers of free land in Southern Carolina ...
a hundred acres for a man and fifty acres for his spouse was much better that the exorbitant rents that they were being charged by their landlords in the north of Ireland. http://tinyurl.com/67u5bd

I have only looked at the first link so far but it's a good one.

It may be profitable to note that until 1784, the area called Nova Scotia included what is now the Province of New Brunswick.

Cheers,

There appears to have been another depression in the first quarter of the nineteenth Century .. two shiploads of Welsh farmers and craftsmen headed to New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia. http://tinyurl.com/5os99t
