Black Canada: A brief history | Abagond
Unlike the Caribbean and America, slavery was never big in Canada. Instead:
Blacks came to Canada in four main waves:
1. Black Loyalists (1780s, 1810s)
2. Underground Railroad (mostly 1840s-1850s)
3. The Lily White Canada Policy (c. 1896-1962)
4. Caribbean immigration (1960s to present)
