Many Nova Scotians were immigrants from New England, including the Planters who, some twenty years earlier, had taken over the farms of the expelled Acadians. Between family ties and unrestrained privateering, there was much sympathy in Nova Scotia for the American Patriots.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHope Restored\u003c\/i\u003e, Robert Dallison tells the story of how the British raised two regiments and sent their members to the area that, as a result, became New Brunswick, thus overcoming the groundswell and fending off Patriot attacks. These soldiers had two jobs: to fight the Americans, and to settle the land as a bulwark against invasion. \u003ci\u003eSpem reduxit\u003c\/i\u003e (hope restored) became their motto and the motto of the province they founded.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs well as telling the story of the Loyalist regiments, \u003ci\u003eHope Restored\u003c\/i\u003e describes many Loyalist and Revolutionary War sites, some of which can be visited today. Among them are the Loyalist Encampment and Cemetery in Fredericton, Saint John's Fort Howe, and the MacDonald Farm Provincial Historic Park in Northumberland County.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHope Restored\u003c\/i\u003e is the second book in the New Brunswick Military Heritage Series published by Goose Lane Editions in collaboration with the New Brunswick Military Heritage Project.
