Upper Canada

Japanese: アッパー・カナダ(英語表記)Upper Canada
Upper Canada
The former name of the Canadian province of Ontario. It was named after its location on the St. Lawrence River. With the outbreak of the American Revolution, some royalists fled north to the British colonies of Nova Scotia and Quebec. The settlers of Quebec lived around the Great Lakes, but they abhorred the political and economic structure that was heavily influenced by manors and the church. In 1791, with the enactment of the Constitutional Act, Quebec was divided into the colonies of Upper and Lower Canada, and Upper Canada introduced a British-style representative government and land system.

Japanese:
カナダ,オンタリオ州の旧名。セント・ローレンス川の上流に当たるのでこの名が付された。アメリカ独立革命の勃発により,一部の王党派は北上してイギリス領であるノバ・スコシア,ケベックの両植民地に逃げた。ケベック植民地へ入植した人びとは五大湖周辺に居住したが,荘園主や教会の影響濃厚な政治・経済形態を忌避し,1791年,〈憲法条例〉の制定により,ケベックはアッパーおよびロワー・カナダ植民地に二分され,アッパー・カナダではイギリス式の代議制,土地制度が導入された。
