Question

Do you feel that the British were justified in constructing a fortress in Halifax?

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the time period when it was built, mid 18th century, there was a fear that the French would attack the settlement. Halifax had a deep and ice-free harbor which offered a good answer to a threat from an attack. Also, it was a good vantage point for the protection of the town since it was built on a hill.
