Lower Canada

Japanese: ロワー・カナダ(英語表記)Lower Canada
Lower Canada
The old name of the Canadian province of Quebec. It was used from 1791 to 1841. It means the area along the lower St. Lawrence River. In 1763, Great Britain named the North American colony it inherited from France Quebec. After the American Revolution, many Loyalists came to Quebec and formed a separate society from French Canadians around Lake Ontario. They did not like being governed by the Quebec Act, so in 1791 the British government divided the area into two colonies, Upper Canada and Lower Canada.

Japanese:
カナダのケベック州の古称。1791年から1841年まで使用された。セント・ローレンス川下流地域を意味する。1763年イギリスはフランスから継承した北アメリカ植民地をケベックと称した。その後アメリカ独立革命により多数の王党派(ローヤリスト)がケベック植民地に来住し,オンタリオ湖近辺にフランス系カナダ人とは別の社会を形成した。彼らはケベック法による統治を嫌ったので,1791年イギリス政府はここを二つの植民地,アッパー・カナダとロワー・カナダに分割した。
