Haven't I been saying that?


We just couldn't keep the snobby Bostonians in the style they had become
accustomed to! Halifax was a garrison town/naval port....no place for lace
hankies.

Washington was a gentlemen farmer from Virginia, he wasn't of the Boston
Snop Corps.

I would guess that even a pig farmer from the US would have found Halifax to
be as G. Washington described.

I doubt that much has changed....evidence: Don White

Now there you go again....... I've let you build up the score to make you
feel more manly, but without someone slapping you back down, you're getting
out of control.

Didn't say Washington was a lace hanky guy...I was referring to the
'loyalists' who left with the British evacuation of Boston, but found life
here a bit too rough. Most loyalists did quite well...swelling the
population of Nova Scotia to the point where the province was split in two.
The western side was named New Brunswick. The ancestors on my maternal
grandmothers side were loyalists from New York.
