Canadian Rebellions of 1837-38 and the Durham Report of 1939 12/19/2012 Canada’s Road to Confederation Canadian Rebellions of 1837-38 and The Durham Report of 1939 Learning Goal • Examine Canada’s path to confederation by looking at the causes and effects of the rebellions of 1837 and the Durham Report. Loyalty to the British • Colonial ruling class were extremely conservative and staunchly British – Many claimed royal lineage • French were also loyal because the British statutes preserved French Canadian way of life – Civil laws, education, land holding, Catholicism – French are concerned about assimilation (U.S.) 1 12/19/2012 Path to Confederation • Issues were similar to 13 colonies – Creating a federal gov’t with a viable constitution – Several colonies were unwilling to leave British empire – External causes convinced reluctant colonies • Rebellions of 1837, Durham Report • Confederation achieved 1867 • Challenge of nation building were likely with so many regional differences (such as?) Canada’s Road to Independence • Evolutionary vs. Revolutionary – Product of party politics, hard fought elections, popular press, parliamentary debate, ministerial conferences, legislation and royal writ (royal order) 2 12/19/2012 Upper Canada • Pro-British monarchy, anti-republican • Two groups: farmers lured by fertile land, Unite Empire Loyalists • Tories were forced the leave the United States following the U.S. revolution (property confiscated) “Family Compact” • Pro-British Tories from U.S joined bankers and merchants in Upper Canada to become the conservative elite • Patriarchal, class-conscious, anti-democratic, monarchist • Opposed any changes that undermined its power or beliefs • Enter liberals Liberals • Liberals in the elected legislative assembly wanted to end aristocratic and church privilege • Other immigrants from the United States were farmers lured by the fertile land • The immigrants also wanted a more democratic government (republicanism) 3 12/19/2012 Activity • Only write down the bold words on the next slide The problem: Constitution Act of 1791 • British passed it following the U.S. Revolution to establish a colonial government • Each colony had a lieutenant governor advised by a legislative council (executive) and popularly elected legislature (assembly) – What system does this follow? • The assembly had no power over the council – Executive could veto anything – They could only tax, but not decide distribution • Serious problem: council and executive were controlled by the Family Compact Note-taking and Summarizing • Use the words to summarize the problem in three or four sentences (or more), include why you think this problem is significant. 4 12/19/2012 Rebellion of Upper Canada • The lieutenant governor and council were controlled by the “Family Compact” • Frustrated by this control – governors were basically figureheads • Assembly calls for change: end to political patronage, a public system of education, public land grants to the Anglican Church (clergy reserves) • William Lyon MacKenzie was editor and publisher of the Colonial Advocate, in which radicals found a voice for their frustrations MacKenzie’s Contributions Make notes about the contributions of MacKenzie. Journalist Political Rebellion Leader MacKenzie Becomes a Celebrity • MacKenzie does not sell many subscriptions and flees to the U.S. to avoid creditors • Tories throw his press into Lake Ontario • He sues when he returns and wins the damages and becomes the unofficial leader of the reformers • MacKenzie and followers establish a committee that sends an emissary to London • They were successful until the Family Compact sends their own committee 5 12/19/2012 Why is this happening? • What did MacKenzie’s followers want? – System of responsible government that gave more power to the elected assembly Mackenzie • Journalist – Montreal Herald (Montreal, Lower Canada) – Observer (York, Upper Canada – presently Toronto) – Established the Colonial Advocate • Critic of the “Family Compact” – The Constitution • Publication demands reform • After he loses election to assembly • Reprints Common Sense • Calls for constitutional convention (after the king dies, Tory- dominated assembly is technically illegal) Mackenzie • Politician – Elected to the assembly in 1829 and 1831 – After a Tory-dominant assembly pushes him out of office, he tries city government – When he is defeated by a Tory for Mayor in 1835, he gets frustrated and looks to armed revolt – He returns to the assembly in 1835 but loses it the following year 6 12/19/2012 Mackenzie • Rebellion Leader – Unofficial leader of reformers after triumphs over Tories, which was unsuccessful in quelling his political voice (What did they do, again?) – Ten Resolutions is the last straw • Removed the few means the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada had to control the Executive Council Evaluating MacKenzie 1. Make a check mark next to the contribution that stands out the most. 2. Draw a star next to the one to which you relate. 3. Rank the contributions in terms of significance to the impact on Canadian confederation. Note-taking • Make generalizations about each point • Write them in your notes • You will be using these to summarize the information and analyze for significance 7 12/19/2012 Lower Canadian Rebellion • “The Chateau Clique” • French Canadian and British Canadian rebels against the British colonial government 8 12/19/2012 Upper Canadian Rebellion • Upper Canadian rebellion was against the oligarchy, the Family Compact • Issues: allocation of land – mostly clergy reserves (unworked lowers value of neighboring farms) • Family Compact Durham Report • On the Family Compact … – "a petty, corrupt, insolent Tory clique" (pro British monarchy) Durham Report • Proposal 1. to Unite Upper and Lower Canada into a single province to stimulate the economy and create conditions of prosperity as well as to reduce to dominant position of the French, render them increasingly politically powerless and, eventually, assimilate them. 2. to institute Responsible Government so as to remove a major source of friction that had existed between the government and elected officials prior to 1837. 3. to assimilate the French. 9 .

Conducted in the form of a workshop with instructor and students both participating, a chronological frame is followed although individual sessions will pursue separate themes revealing the changing politics, society and economy. Each session, of which there will be two per weekly meeting, will include a brief introduction to the topic by the instructor, and then a verbal report prepared by a student, followed by questions and discussion. Assigned readings should make the discussion informative. Readings will be from prescribed texts, internet and library sources and handouts. There will be no mid-terms in this course.

Over several decades, a large stock market, high taxes on inherited income, a sound institutional environment, and capital account openness accompa- nied the rise of widely held firms. At mid-century, the Canadian large cor- porate sector was primarily freestanding widely held firms, as in the mod- ern large corporate sectors of the United States and United Kingdom. Then, in the last third of the century, a series of institutional changes took place. These included a more bank-based financial system, a sharp abate- Randall K. Morck is Stephen A.

  • Women and the War of 1812 in Upper Canada
    ''Wants and Privations'': Women and the War of 1812 in Upper Canada GEORGE SHEPPARD* Most accounts of Canada's pre-modern conflicts present women as either heroes or victims. This preliminary investigation of the immediate impact of the War of 1812 reveals that wartime experiences were far more heterogeneous. Many Upper Canadians were inconvenienced by the fighting, primarily because militia service made pioneer fanning more difficult. Hundreds of other residents suffered immensely due to the death and destruction inflicted by particulclr campaigns. A great number of women were affected only marginally by the fighting, however, and some actually benefited from the war. For some, the war brought increased profits from sales of goods to the military, as well as unprecedented opportunities for employment, courting, and excitement. lA plupart des documents reUJtanJ les conflits premodernes du Canada depeignent les femmes comme des heroines ou des victimes. Cette etude preliminaire de l'impact immediaJ de la Guerre de 1812 brosse un portrait nenement plus hiterogene de leur vie en temps de guerre. Les combats perturbaient de nombreux Hauts-Canadiens, surtout parce que le service militaire compliquait /'agriculture au temps de la colonisation. Des centaines d'autres etaient cruellement eprouves par l£l mort et les ravages causes par certaines campagnes. Mais de nombreuses femmes souffraient peu de la guerre, en beneficiant meme dans certains cas. En effet, certaines encaissaient davantage de profits grlJce a l£l vente de marchandises aux militaires et voyaient comme jamais auparavanJ les possibilites d'emploi, les courtisans et les moments exaltants se bousculer a Jeurs portes. ON NOVEMBER 21, 1815, Sussanah Jessup of Augusta County, Upper Canada, put the finishing touches to a letter addressed to Gordon Drum­ mond, former administrator of the colony.

  • Pauper Emigration to Upper Canada in the 1830S*
    Pauper Emigration to Upper Canada in the 1830s* by Rainer BAEHRE ** Pauper emigration to the Canadas peaked in the 1830s during the very period in which public concern over poor relief reached a climax in Great Britain. 1 In the mother country "the figure of the pauper, almost forgotten since, dominated a discussion the imprint of which was as powerful as that of the most spectacular events in history". 2 So argues Karl Polanyi. Yet, in general histories of Upper Canada the pauper is referred to only in passing. 3 Could it be that the pauper's role in Upper Canada was larger than has hitherto been assumed? As this appears to be the case this paper will examine how the problem of British pauperism was transported to the colony in the important decade before the Rebellion. I The early decades of the nineteenth century witnessed growing po­ litical, economic and social turmoil in Great Britain. The general crisis heightened in the late 1820s, aggravated by a combination of fluctuating markets, overpopulation, enclosure, poor harvests, the displacement of * I would like to thank Professors Peter N. Oliver, H. Vivian Nelles, and Leo A. Johnson for their helpful comments on an earlier version of this paper. Also special thanks to Stan Pollin, Greg Theobald, Faye Mcintosh and John Keyes.

An Abstract of “To Excite the Feelings of Noble Patriots:” Emotion, Public Gatherings, and Mackenzie’s American Rebellion, 1837-1842 by Joshua M. Steedman Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in History The University of Toledo August 2019 This dissertation is a cultural history of the American reaction to the Upper Canadian Rebellion and the Patriot War. This project is based on an analysis of newspaper articles published by William Lyon Mackenzie and his contemporaries, diplomatic cables between Washington D.C. and London, letters, and accounts of celebrations, toasts, and public meetings which occurred between 1837 and 1842. I argue Americans and Upper Canadians in the Great Lakes region made up a culture area. By re-engaging in a battle with the British, Upper Canadians, and their American supporters sought redemption. Reacting to geographic isolation from major metropolitan areas and a looming psychic crisis motivated many of these individuals to act.

  • Lawless Lawyers: Indigeneity, Civility, and Violence
    ARTICLES Lawless Lawyers: Indigeneity, Civility, and Violence HEATHER DAVIS-FISCH On 8 June 1826, young members of the Family Compact—allegedly disguised as “Indians”—raided William Lyon Mackenzie’s York office, smashing his printing press and throwing his types into Lake Ontario, to protest defamatory editorials. This essay investigates how the cultural memory of “Indian” disguise emerged by asking what this memory reveals about the performative and political dynamics of this protest. At first glance, the performance conventions and disciplinary function of the Types Riot allow it to be compared to folk protest traditions such as “playing Indian” and charivari. However, the Types Riot differed from these popular performances because the participants were members of the provincial elite, not protestors outside of the structures of power. The rioters’ choice of how to perform their “civilized” authority—through an act of lawless law legitimated through citations of “Indigenous” authority—demonstrates inherent contradictions in how power was enacted in Upper Canada. Furthermore, by engaging in a performance that resembled charivari, the rioters called their own civility—attained through education, wealth, and political connections—into question by behaving like peasants. The Types Riot demonstrates that the Family Compact’s claim to authority based on its members’ civility—their superior values, education, and social privilege—was backed by the threat of uncivil violence. The riot revealed a contradiction that the Upper Canadian elite would, no doubt, have preferred remained private: that in the settler-colony, gentlemanly power relied upon the potential for “savage” retribution, cited through the rioters’ “Indian” disguises. Le 8 juin 1826, un groupe de jeunes membres du Pacte de famille—déguisés selon les dires en « Indiens »—ont pillé les bureaux de William Lyon Mackenzie à York, détruit sa presse et jeté ses caisses de caractères typographiques dans le lac Ontario pour signaler leur opposition à des éditoriaux diffa- matoires qu’il a publiés.

While Equity Slumbered: Creditor Advantage, A Capitalist Land Market, and Upper Canada's Missing Court Abstract Until 1837, Upper Canada had no Court of Chancery. This omission forced stop-gap measures which in the area of mortgages produced a muddle. The confusion introduced into the land market led to protracted controversies among politicians and jurists during the 1820s and 1830s. The many complex principles and motives raised by the lack of an equitable jurisdiction generated much legislative controversy and experimentation. John Beverley Robinson often was central to vital discussions where he revealed both his intelligence and social biases favouring gentlemen of capital. Extremely complicated issues have deflected attention from the central issue: whether the colony needed equity, whether it needed to follow English law.
