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.

  • From Lower Canadian Colonists to Bermudan Convicts – Political Slavery and the Politics of Unfreedom
    “By What Authority Do You Chain Us Like Felons?”: From Lower Canadian Colonists to Bermudan Convicts – Political Slavery and the Politics of Unfreedom Jarett Henderson, Mount Royal University At 3:00 PM on 2 July 1838, Wolfred Nelson stepped, for the first time since his arrest in December 1837, outside the stone walls of the newly built Montreal Gaol. Iron shackles hung from his wrists and ankles. Heavy chains bound him to Robert Bouchette, who, like 515 other Lower Canadian reformers, had been arrested under the auspices of leading an insurrection against the British empire. That July day Nelson, Bouchette, and six other white British subjects – often identified as patriots – began a journey that took them from Montreal to Quebec to Hamilton, the capital of the British penal colony of Bermuda. Their procession from the gaol to the Canada steamer moored in the St. Lawrence provided these eight men one final opportunity to demonstrate their frustration with irresponsible colonial government. The rhetoric of political enslavement once used by Nelson to agitate for reform had been replaced with iron shackles. This symbol of unfreedom was both personal and political. Furthermore, it provides a vivid example of how Nelson, Bouchette, and their fellow compatriots Rodolphe DesRivières, Henri Gauvin, Siméon Marchesseault, Luc Masson, Touissant Goddu, and Bonaventure Viger’s ideas about the reach of empire had encouraged their political engagement and transformed them from loyal to disloyal, from free to unfree, and from civil to uncivil subjects. Though there is little record of the removal of these men from Lower Canada, we must not take this as an indication that their transportation to Bermuda went unnoticed.

Less stressed has been the fact that the rebellions were also civil wars and that British troops were aided by substantial numbers of loyalists in defeating the rebels.

  • The 1837-1838 Rebellions
    The 1837–1838 Rebellion: Consolidating Settler Colonialism in Canada Poster by Orion Keresztesi Introduction by Jarett Henderson In the 1830s the struggle to abolish irresponsible colonial rule in Upper and Lower Canada, and replace it with a form of government controlled by local settlers rather than by imperial rulers or their appointed representatives, involved significant debate, public protest, threats of violence, and outright rebellion. While the 1837-1838 Rebellion is often celebrated as a defining moment in Canadian history when oppressed settlers fought for a voice in their own gover- nance, it is important to remember that what resulted from this struggle was the imposition of the political frame- work necessary for settler colonialism to take hold in northern North America. Wolfred Nelson, one of the leading advocates of political reform hinted at this in 1836, when he charged, “we cannot continue to be subjects if we will not be treated as such, but rather as slaves.” Nelson, along with Louis-Joseph Pap- ineau in Lower Canada and William Lyon Mackenzie in Upper Canada, mobilized masses of settlers—men and wom- en, francophone and anglophone, young and old, rural and urban, rich and poor—with their demands for political freedom and liberté. By the summer and fall of 1837 public meetings of thousands, many of whom were encouraged to attend by a rhetoric that drew on the language of American and French revolutionaries and British reformers, were being held across the countryside. These meetings culminated on 23 October 1837 with a 4,000-person rally at Saint-Charles, Lower Canada, where Nelson and Luc Côté delivered passionate speeches calling for open revolt.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

  • The October Crisis Appendix Z the Place of the Crisis in Quebec and Canadian History
    1 The October Crisis Appendix Z The Place of the Crisis in Quebec and Canadian History “L’histoire n’est que le tableau des crimes et des malheurs.” (Voltaire, 1694-1778) “History is bunk.” (Henry Ford, 1863-1947) “Some historians are adverse to explicit explanation, instead preferring to ‘let the facts speak for themselves.’ Others will elaborate a preferred explanation, but they rarely set contending explanations against one another, as one must to fully evaluate an explanation. Historians are also (with some exceptions) generally averse to writing evaluative history. However, without explanatory historical work, history is never explained; and without evaluative historical work we learn little from the past about present and future problem-solving.” (Stephen Van Evera, 1997 at p. 93) An Evauative History -Action and Reaction I am not an historian and do not attempt to write history in this text. That is left to professional historians. Rather I have attempted, as an ex-politician, to evaluate the evolution of French-Canadian nationalism, from the founding of Quebec in 1608 to the present day. To do so, I have arbitrarily divided the saga into eighteen major stages and in each stage I have described 2 what happened (“the action”) and what resulted (“the reaction”). This evaluative style at least has the merit of being in the briefest of terms and is the first specific positioning of the October Crisis in Canadian history, to my knowledge, albeit by a biased, ex-politician. The action/reaction methodology may also be surprising, although, I now understand that Karl Marx and others used it.
