THE SPECIAL COUNCILS of LOWER CANADA, 1838-1841 By
“LE CONSEIL SPÉCIAL EST MORT, VIVE LE CONSEIL SPÉCIAL!” THE SPECIAL COUNCILS OF LOWER CANADA, 1838-1841 by Maxime Dagenais Dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the PhD degree in History. Department of History Faculty of Arts Université d’Ottawa\ University of Ottawa © Maxime Dagenais, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 ii ABSTRACT “LE CONSEIL SPÉCIAL EST MORT, VIVE LE CONSEIL SPÉCIAL!” THE SPECIAL COUNCILS OF LOWER CANADA, 1838-1841 Maxime Dagenais Supervisor: University of Ottawa, 2011 Professor Peter Bischoff Although the 1837-38 Rebellions and the Union of the Canadas have received much attention from historians, the Special Council—a political body that bridged two constitutions—remains largely unexplored in comparison. This dissertation considers its time as the legislature of Lower Canada. More specifically, it examines its social, political and economic impact on the colony and its inhabitants. Based on the works of previous historians and on various primary sources, this dissertation first demonstrates that the Special Council proved to be very important to Lower Canada, but more specifically, to British merchants and Tories. After years of frustration for this group, the era of the Special Council represented what could be called a “catching up” period regarding their social, commercial and economic interests in the colony. This first section ends with an evaluation of the legacy of the Special Council, and posits the theory that the period was revolutionary as it produced several ordinances that changed the colony’s social, economic and political culture This first section will also set the stage for the most important matter considered in this dissertation as it emphasizes the Special Council’s authoritarianism. -
Irish-French Relations in Lower Canada
CCHA Historical Studies, 52(1985), 35-49 Irish-French Relations in Lower Canada Mary FINNEGAN Montreal, Que. Movements for political reform were a world-wide phenomenon in the 1820’s. On both sides of the Atlantic two British territories, Ireland and Lower Canada, fought the established political order in an effort to gain control of their own affairs. An ever-increasing number of Irish arrived in Quebec and Montreal during this period as a result of Britain’s policy of resettling her surplus population in her North American colonies. It did not take long for some of the Irish immigrants and the French Canadians to realize that a political affiliation could be mutually beneficial. The relationship was based primarily on both groups being Catholic and sharing a history of conquest by England. Catholics in Lower Canada had enjoyed relative religious freedom since 1763 as well as exemption from the penal restrictions that affected Irish Catholics, but both groups felt that their religion and nationality militated against them in the selection of government offices and appointment to positions of power. English domination of the Irish was centuries old. More than three-quarters of the Irish population was Catholic, yet, unlike Catholics in Lower Canada, the mere fact of being Catholic made them ineligible to sit in Parliament or hold any government office. Essential also was the contemporary British movement for internal constitutional reform, especially that of Catholic Emancipation. Daniel O’Connell, the Irishman in Westminster responsible for securing this victory in 1829, added the cause of oppressed Catholics in Lower Canada to his continued struggle for parliamentary reform. -

Victor Morin ancien président-général de la Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste © EDITIONS EDOUARD GARAND 1423-1425-Î427 Sainte-Elisabeth Montréal 1929 Préface Aurait-on jamais songé que l'origine des fêtes de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste remonte au paganisme et que l'excellent M. Gingras, qui se donne tant de mal à préparer, chaque année, le feu de joie du 23 juin, perpétue tout bonnement le culte des divinités de l'Olympe à l'occasion du solstice d'été ? C'est pourtant ce que nous déclare ce cher cheur infatigable qu'était Benjamin Suite, et force nous est de le croire puisqu'il établit son assertion sur des données historiques. Heureusement que l'Eglise a christianisé ces fêtes en associant les pra tiques religieuses aux réjouissances profanes; par ce moyen, elle les a fait tourner à la plus grande gloire de Dieu. -

Political Violence, Voluntary Organizing, and the Borderland Press During the Canadian Rebellion, 1834–1842
WITHIN ARM’S REACH: POLITICAL VIOLENCE, VOLUNTARY ORGANIZING, AND THE BORDERLAND PRESS DURING THE CANADIAN REBELLION, 1834–1842 by Stephen Robert Irvine Smith A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2017) Copyright © Stephen Robert Irvine Smith, 2017 Abstract This project focuses on voluntary organizing by the patriots and their use of the press between 1834 and 1842 in the Canadas and the United States, particularly in relation to the Canadian Rebellion of 1837–1838. The dissertation argues that historians should conceive of the Rebellion as an attempt by the patriots to establish a new order through the press and voluntary associations, both before and after the outbreak of insurrection. First constitutionalists and then patriots turned to militarized organizing as a natural outgrowth of their voluntarist values. The press was an important factor in this organizing and beginning in 1836 saw the rise of a “patriot press” in Upper and Lower Canada. These newspapers existed as a republican borderland: they were committed to republicanism and independence for the Canadas and therefore sought to transcend the border by erasing the boundary between monarchy and republic in North America. Past scholarship on the Rebellion has been segmented by “pre” and “post” 1837 and selective focus amongst Lower Canada, Upper Canada, or the United States. Studies have also concentrated heavily on the secret society, the Hunter’s Lodges, and their incursions into the Canadas. The dissertation instead explores the evolving interplay between military organizing and civil society both in the U.S.
