==Effect on North America==
The effect on North America in relation to this battle are complex. Initially, many Scottish settlers arrived in the American Colonies as refugees or as those forced to move there. Perhaps though the greatest effects were felt in Nova Scotia. Initially, Nova Scotia was actually settled by more non-Scottish British, as a series of wars led to British expansion there. During the American Revolution, there were attempts for Nova Scotia to join the rebellion. Battles were fought there in revolt against the British and often the region was called the "14th Colony," but from 1773 and on, initially with the ship <i>Hector</i> arriving, the character of the province also changed as Scottish immigrants who many were refugees or were forced out due to the aftermaths of Culloden were now arriving.
Initially, many did support the American colonists, but American raids on Novia Scotia, where looting and destruction was carried by the Americans, led to many in Nova Scotia affirming their loyalties to the British.
