Given the complex centuries long history of Halifax this video is not too bad. It references many of the high points. Although not necessarily errors two points need clarification: - Halifax is the most easterly 'mainland major port' in North America. Ports such as Charlottetown (PEI), Sydney (NS) and St John's (NL) are farther east but these are all on islands. - Although Acadians ended up in Louisiana listeners should note none were sent there during the deportations by the British. The video is correct the British sent them to various of the American thirteen colonies. Some Acadians were also deported to England and France.

Nice. I have Mixed Lineage Biologically. Acadian on my B Mother's side. My Ancestor Pierre Oliver Benoit (Victoria Dugas) (d. 1811 - W Tracadie) who worked aboard a Lumber Schooner between Lahave & Louisbourg, met Cornwallis on the day he arrived with a Convoy to Chebuctuk... He & another fellow guided them into the Harbor. His Father's Lumber Business on Isle Royale saved his immediate Family. He took a message from Cornwallis to Paul Mascarene. He was lucky to have met Cornwallis in this way

The magazine hill caught fire as well good thing it didn't explode because 80% ammo shells gun powder etc of the entire war effort in Europe was stored there.

The "ammo shells gun powder etc. of the entire war effort in Europe" was not stored there. The Bedford Magazine would not have been big enough and also it just makes no sense to store 'all' your ammo in one place. Strategically that would just be stupid.

We had 2 munitions explosions, the halifax explosion in 1917 and the bedford magazine explosion in 1945. Halifax has been used as municians port because of its size, so loading ships have the safety of the port, but the distance in case of an accident. Its also the closest land port to england, so municians ships would have less chance of being caught by u-boats. The bedford magazine is still in operation and they store far more now than they ever did then, but they've learned to separate the explosives in such a way that an accident doesnt cascade to the rest of the municians. Theyre still finding unexploded shells from the magazine explosion today, a large section of land is still fenced off from public access

@@Stevethelightingguy The founding of Halifax was for military purposes. It became one of the many major British bases that straddled the world. In time Halifax became a major army and air force center as well. It was because of the large military presence that the major munitions depot was developed. They needed to supply military operations. As the primary North American jump-off point for troops and supplies for World Wars I and II, even larger stockpiles were held at Halifax.

Found that I had ancestors who migrated from Nova Scotia. Wonder if they were part of the exile.

Nah, the history of the city of Halifax is what this doco is about - it didn't become a city until the British arrived. I came here looking for much longer history as I'm trying to find some interesting places to explore around here, so I wish it had included much deeper history. But given the name of the video, hard to be mad.

You would be looking for a history of Nova Scotia, we had lots of native activity and then french settlements. Halifax was only founded as a British outpost during the last gasps of the French colonial empire and so we never saw a battle.
