The subsequent retirement of the British expeditionary force from its base in Castine, Maine to Nova Scotia ensured that eastern Maine would remain a part of the United States. Lingering local feelings of vulnerability, however, would help fuel the post-war movement for statehood for Maine. The withdrawal of the British represented the end of two centuries of violent contest over Maine by rival nations (initially the French and British, and then the British and Americans).
