Fort Sackville

Fortress Sackville was a British stronghold situated in present-day Bedford, Nova Scotia that was worked amid Father Le Loutre's War. The British constructed the stronghold adjoining present-day Scott Manor House, on a slope sitting above the Sackville River to help forestall French, Acadian and Mi'kmaq assaults on Halifax. The post comprised of a brick house, a protect house, a sleeping enclosure which housed 50 troopers, and storehouses, all incorporated by a palisade. Not a long way from the stronghold was a rifle run. The post was named after George Germain, first Viscount Sackville.
In spite of the British Conquest of Acadia in 1710, Nova Scotia remained fundamentally involved by Catholic Acadians and Mi'kmaq. Father Le Loutre's War started when Edward Cornwallis landed to set up Halifax with 13 transports on June 21, 1749. By singularly building up Halifax, the Mi'kmaq trusted the British were damaging prior bargains, which were marked after Father Rale's War. The British remained to a great extent in Halifax, having endeavored to set up a settlement east of Halifax close present-day Lawrencetown Beach they immediately relinquished the exertion because of the risk of Mi'kmaq assaults. Four years after the establishing of Halifax, Lunenburg was set up. To prepare for Mi'kmaq, Acadian and French assaults on the new Protestant settlements, British strongholds were raised in Halifax, Bedford, Dartmouth, Lunenburg and Lawrencetown.
