Explain what led to the initial division of Canada. How did this division affect Canadian culture?

Answer:

Canada’s initial division grew out of its French and British colonial histories, as well as the arrival of English-speaking Loyalists. In 1791, the Province of Quebec was divided into Upper Canada, which was mostly English-speaking, and Lower Canada, which was mostly French-speaking. This helped create distinct cultural regions, especially preserving French language and Catholic traditions in Quebec alongside English-speaking traditions elsewhere.
