Really important thread on how Nova Scotia benefitted from plantation slavery - elsewhere. (Lit in #cdnhist emphasizes that yes, there were enslaved people in Canada but slavery was different in the colonies of British North America. This work shifts our attention and focus in crucial ways).

Nova Scotia history often includes some discussion of trade with the West Indies (the greater Caribbean). And our historians of slavery show that enslaved people in NS were bought and sold by white NSian traders in business with Caribbean counterparts. I have a story to add.
