Crossing the 49th Parallel : Migration from Canada to the United States, 1900-1930
A chronicling of movement from English and French Canada to the United States in the first thirty years of the twentieth century. Focused less on American community building than on patterns and means of human migration visible in government records from across the length of the Canadian-American border. An attempt at integrating the often-overlooked Anglo Canadian migration with that of French Canadians, and measuring Canadian emigration both within and beyond boundaries of ethnicity. Observations on instances of "remigration" - the movement to the United States of recent immigrants to Canada - in the time period of concern. From the book jacket: " 'Crossing the 49th Parallel' is the first book to encompass that entire, continent-wide population shift, bringing Canadian migration to the center of both Canadian and U.S. history." "Bruno Ramirez researches the contents of previously unused border records to bring to light the wide variety of local contexts and historical circumstances that led Canadian men, women, and children to cross the border and become key actors in the U.S. economy and society."Tags Acadians, Berlin NH, British Columbia, Buffalo NY, Business and Economics, Canada, Central Falls RI, Cohoes NY, Demography, Detroit MI, Eastport ME, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Fall River MA, Farming and Agriculture, Goffstown NH, Haverhill MA, Holyoke MA, Illinois, Jackman ME, Labor History, Lawrence MA, Lowell MA, Lynn MA, Manchester NH, Manitoba, Massena NY, Michigan, Mills and Mill Work, Montana, Montréal QC, Nashua NH, New Bedford MA, New Brunswick, New England, New York, Niagara Falls NY, North Dakota, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Providence RI, Québec, Salem MA, Sault Sainte Marie MI, St. Lawrence River Valley, Toronto ON, Watertown NY, Waterville ME, Wisconsin, Woonsocket RI -
"Why Don't You Be a Klansman?" Anglo-Canadian Support for the Ku Klux Klan Movement in 1920s New England
From the author: "This article examines a little-known dimension to the Ku Klux Klan movement in the United States during the 1920s. As Anglo-Canadian Protestants supported the KKK to assert control over French-Canadian and other Catholics in the New England states, they undermined the Klan's emphasis on Americanism and illustrated an inherent contradiction in this avowedly nativist organization."Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Alberta, Auburn ME, Barre VT, Bath ME, Biddeford ME, Canada, Central Falls RI, Colorado, Connecticut, Demography, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Fall River MA, Government and Politics, Greenville ME, Lawrence MA, Lewiston ME, Lowell MA, Maine, Manchester NH, Manitoba, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Brunswick, New England, New Hampshire, New York, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- Labor and Social, Ontario, Oregon, Québec, Religion, Rhode Island, Saco ME, Saskatchewan, Toronto ON, United States, Vermont, Violence, Washington, Woonsocket RI, Worcester MA -

The Role of Fr. Jean-Baptiste Proulx in the Danielson Affair and in the Manitoba School Question
From the author: "The thesis is an examination of the role of Fr. Jean-Baptiste Proulx as an intermediary for the French-Canadian laity at St. James' Church in Danielson, Connecticut in the parish discord known as the Danielson Affair, and as a secret ambassador of Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier for negotiations with Pope Leo XIII in order to settle the Manitoba School Question in 1896. The thesis re-examines the histories that have been written about Fr. Proulx's role in both historical events, and the histories that are examined are the book and dissertation by Sr. Dolores Liptak, European Immigrants and the Catholic Church in Connecticut, 1870-1920, and Robert Rumilly's Histoire des Franco-Américains and volumes eight and nine of his series, Histoire de la Province du Québec. ... The sources that are used to re-examine the histories are sources that Robert Rumilly used, such as the Papers of Fr. Proulx that are held by the National Archives of Quebec at Montreal, as well as Fr. Proulx's own account as an intermediary in the Danielson Affair, entitled: "Journal of My Steps and Walks in the Diocese of Hartford on the Subject of Danielson by the Reverend J.B. Proulx, Parish Priest of St. Lin." Also used are several contemporary newspapers in Connecticut, as well as three French-language newspapers that were published in Montreal and in Southern New England. In the analysis of the Danielson Affair and the Manitoba School Question, the thesis examines the development of several documents in light of either historical event. ... Also, the thesis analyzes two speeches from the Eleventh Convention of the Canadiens-Américains du Connecticut that was held in September 1896, and how they became two documents about the Danielson Affair that were forwarded to Fr. Proulx while he was in Rome. Other documents that are examined are the decision of the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors on the contested election of lay trustees at St. James' Church in Danielson, known as 'State ex rel. George Barry vs. Eli Getty and James Reynolds,' and the response by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hartford to the said decision that changed the state laws for the incorporation of Catholic parishes, 'An Act concerning the Organization of Roman Catholic Churches' in 1903." -
