And because it was harder to get a job and make money in Nova Scotia, child labor was very popular in Nova Scotia. And children were payed significantly less then adults, even if they worked the same amount of time and the same job. There were inequalities for job pays in Nova Scotia. But since News Brunswick was a bigger and more wealthier country, there was room for more job opportunities. And a lot of the British has settled into New Brunswick, which made New Brunswick's economy better.

Black people

There is a large difference on how Nova Scotia treated black people in their region, compared to how New Brunswick treated black people within their region. New Brunswick was a popular region for black slavery. Black people were treated badly and were sold and passed form master to master until they worked away their life. Nova Scotia had a few black slaves, though not as many as New Brunswick. In fact, some black slaves has actually migrated to Nova Scotia hoping for a better life there. The few who owned slaves in Nova Scotia were the white loyalists.
