by William Salter

A commander in the Peninsular Wars (1808-14), in 1819 Sir James Kempt was appointed Governor of Nova Scotia in Canada. He held the post until 1828 when he was promoted to Governor-General of Canada, where he stayed for two years. Following the division of Quebec into British and French territories in 1791, Canada was a hotbed of national tension and economic and political discontent. At the end of his term, Kempt's conduct was commended in Parliament by the Prime Minister, Wellington.
