		Bern welcomed the Protestants who lived in Biel/Bienne and the southern districts of the Jura around Moutier, and was powerful enough to ignore the destitute French-speaking Catholic peasants of the northern districts around Delémont and Porrentruy.
		This shocked the Protestant southern districts of the Jura to the core, and immediately afterwards a pro-Bern, anti-separatist bloc formed, threatening violence against the Catholics of the north and demanding another referendum to allow the south to detach itself from the Jurassien independence movement and remain part of Bern.
		Nonetheless, after a series of commune-by-commune referenda, popular opinion was shown to favour both the formation of a new canton in the north, and the adherence of the south to Bern.
