Excellent- More about The Slow Rush of Colonization: Spaces of Power in the Maritime Peninsula, 1680–1790
After Montcalm's defeat at the Plains of Abraham in 1760, the French Empire was expelled from the Saint Lawrence Valley. This victory had its roots in the settler colonial systems of power that took root on the peripheries of the Maritime Peninsula a hundred years earlier. Historian Thomas Peace demonstrates that local Mikmaw, Wabanaki, Peskotomuhkati, Wolastoqiyik, and Wendat nations continued to experience the Peninsula as a cohesive whole, defined by Indigenous agency and diplomacy, rather than one defined by subsequent colonial borders. This history was brushed aside as settlers flooded into the Peninsula, laying the groundwork for Canada and the United States to develop.

After the French Empire's defeat at the Plains of Abraham in 1760, it was definitively expelled from the Saint Lawrence Valley. This historical event is widely recognized, but less well known is that this decisive victory had its roots almost a hundred years earlier, when settler colonial systems of power first took root on the peripheries of the Maritime Peninsula. Historian Thomas Peace, drawing on the concept of spaces of power, demonstrates that despite imperial changes of power and settler colonial incursions on their lands, local Mikmaw, Wabanaki, Peskotomuhkati, Wolastoqiyik, and Wendat nations continued to experience the contested Peninsula as a cohesive whole, rather than one defined by subsequent colonial borders. This engaging history showcases how overlapping concepts of space and power, deeply shaped by Indigenous agency and diplomacy, defined relationships in the eighteenth-century Maritime Peninsula and how, following the Seven Years War, this history was brushed aside as settlers flooded into the Peninsula, laying the groundwork from which Canada and the United States would develop.
