1800 in Canada was a time when the country was part of the British Empire. The land was mainly organized into Upper Canada (today’s Ontario) and Lower Canada (today’s Quebec). The fur trade remained a major part of the economy, with trading posts and routes across the land. Settlers lived in small farms and growing towns, especially along the St. Lawrence River and in Atlantic Canada, while Indigenous nations continued to play a key role in everyday life. Relations with the United States were mostly calm in 1800, though conflicts could arise as both nations expanded westward.
