Where did the colony of Nova Scotia trade to in the 1800s?
The answer to your question depends on when in the 1800s you are talking about. If we take mid-century, about half of NS imports were manufactured goods and most of the rest was food (including alcoholic beverages). About a third of its exports were fish, and then agricultural products and forest products (in that order). NS was also a major building and seller of ships. NS exports went mostly to the other British North American colonies and the West Indies with about 20% going to the USA. Imports came mostly from, in order, Britain, the US and the other BNA colonies.
