I believe that after the South lost the American Civil War, there were
many families who moved to NS. I was not aware that there were Black
family that also moved to NS.

They may have been the black slave owners who moved to NS.

Many of your French descended settlers, I'm sure you know, moved to
Louisiana and became...Cajuns!

That was my first thought, too..... most Yankees don't even know
there was such a thing!

My favorite part about touring any plantation in the south is that you
always hear about the good slave owners, especially this guy in South
Carolina near Charleston who was a preacher. He was a good slave owner
because he taught the slave children how to read the bible. Freaking
unbelievable that the docents would try and push that crap off on those
taking a tour.

The Brits "outlawed" slavery more than 20 years before the U.S. civil
war, and that included its territories, too. The blacks in Nova Scotia
in the 19th century probably were descended from freed slaves from the
American colonies and the early United States. A number of slaves were
offered freedom by the Brits in exchange for their service in the
military against the United States in the War of 1812, and were given
land in Nova Scotia after that war.

There were no "good" slave owners, anytime, anywhere.

That should be "There are." Slavery is still practiced today in Africa,
the Middle East and Asia and in parts of Eastern Europe. I am still
trying to figure out why you, Harry, are not actively working towards
the complete and total abolition of slavery world-wide?

There's plenty of slavery in the United States...exploited adult
workers, exploited child labor, mandatory unpaid overtime, et cetera.
Given, there is real slavery abroad, but there is plenty of economic
slavery right here in the good old USA.
