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. and the Canadas, demonstrating the surprising extent to which this military organizing has been rooted in and shaped by traditions of liberal voluntary associations and the press. Going beyond the narrow time-frame of the Rebellion, the dissertation provides a comprehensive and longer-term picture of how the patriot press continued and changed with its exile in the United States. The dissertation outlines the catalytic and animating role played by patriot editors in fostering a sense of community and common cause amongst patriots and their sympathizers as well as in engaging combatively with their constitutionalist counterparts in the Canadas. Also documented are the activities undertaken by ii patriot editors to police vigilantly the boundaries and membership of patriot organizations, particularly in respect to minorities, and to seek to delineate acceptable roles for women in patriot organizing. iii Résumé Ce projet a comme sujet d’étude les activités d’organisation voluntaires des patriotes et leur utilisation de la presse entre 1834 et 1842 aux Canadas et aux États-Unis, surtout en relation avec la rébellion de 1837 et 1838. La dissertation propose que les historien(ne)s devraient concevoir cette rébellion comme une tentative de la part des patriotes pour établir un nouvel ordre par le biais de la presse et des associations volontaires avant et après le déclenchement de l’insurrection. D'abord, les constitutionnalistes et ensuite les patriotes se sont concentrés sur une organisation militarisée comme une excroissance naturelle de leurs valeurs volontaristes. La presse jouait un rôle important dans leur organisation et, dès 1836 une presse « patriote » a commencé dans le Haut-Canada et le Bas-Canada. Ces journaux ont agi comme région frontalière républicaine. Ils se sont engagés envers le républicanisme et l'indépendance du Canada. En conséquence, ils ont tenté de transcender la frontière en effaçant la distinction entre la monarchie et la république en Amérique du Nord. Dans le passé, les érudits de la rébellion l’ont scindée en deux parties, la période pré et post 1837. Ils ont aussi centré l’attention sur le Haut-Canada, le Bas-Canada, ou les États-Unis. En même temps, les projets de recherche ont mis l’emphase sur la société secrète les Frères Chasseurs et leurs incursions aux Canadas. Au lieu de cela, cette dissertation fait l’examen de l'interaction évolutive entre les activités d’organisation militaire et la société civile aux États-Unis et dans les Canadas. La thèse démontre également le rôle inattendu de la presse et des traditions des associations volontaires libérales comme racines et leur influence majeure sur ces activités d’organisation militaire. La dissertation va au-delà de la courte durée de la rébellion pour donner un aperçu global et à plus long terme qui montre comment la presse patriote a survécu et évolué en exil aux États-Unis. La dissertation décrit le rôle catalyseur et animateur joué par les éditeurs patriotes dans la promotion d’un sentiment iv d’appartenance et d’objectif commun dans les esprits des patriotes et leurs sympathisants. La thèse montre également comment les éditeurs patriotes ont engagé combativement leurs homologues constitutionnalistes dans les canadas. La dissertation documente aussi les activités entreprises par les éditeurs patriotes pour faire respecter les limites externes et l'adhésion des organismes patriotes surtout en ce qui concerne les groupes minoritaires. Elle décrit également leurs actions pour délimiter des rôles acceptables pour les femmes dans l'organisation patriote. v Acknowledgements This project is the product of a long study and long interest in these questions and this topic. Rather than start at the beginning, I would like to begin my acknowledgments with those that help with the completion of this journey by thanking the external members of my doctoral committee. Ian Radforth, Laura Murray, and Kim Nossal agreed to join this project and provided great engagement with it in its final stages. In the latter years of the doctorate, participation in two workshops really helped to grow and improve the dissertation. I would like to thank Elizabeth Mancke, Scott See, Jerry Bannister, and Denis McKim who invited me to take part in the project on Unrest, Violence and Search for Social Order. I am honestly and truly grateful to be part of that amazing project. The progress I was able to make in growing, writing, and conceptualizing my dissertation was immense. I would also like to thank Julien Mauduit and Maxime Dagenais for inviting me to their workshop on the Rebellion and the United States. I also want to thank Thomas Richards for letting me comment on his paper at that workshop at McGill University. I was a pleasure to engage in person with much of the new work on the topic and it has improved mine. I hope I have done justice to their excellent work. I am indebted to countless librarians and archivists for help locating and accessing hard to find issues of various newspapers buried deep in obscure collections. All of them should be listed here although I can only list three who went above and beyond. Bill Keeler of the Rochester Historical Society, Tammis Groft at the Albany Institute of History and Art, and Justin White at the Oswego County Historical Society. I also want to acknowledge the Burton Historical Collection of the Detroit Public Library. During the municipal bankruptcy the collection continued to be open, accessible, and free of charge and the staff remained professional and hard vi working under difficult circumstances. Dana Freiburger, when kindly asked by a friend of mine, went into the bowels of the Wisconsin Historical Society to take photos of two obscure newspapers for someone he never knew or met. Family friend Maurice Langlois helped make sure the French translation of the abstract was up to snuff. To go on research trips and write required financial assistance. The people of Ontario though their support of the Ontario Graduate Scholarship program, Queen’s University, and its history department provided that helpful funding. Funds were also provided to me thanks to the labours of Donald S. Rickerd, and before him, that of the workers (waged and unwaged) of various Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Buffalo New York mills. Their century of work for William H. Donner and his surviving wealth trickled down to help finance this dissertation thought “The Donald S. Rickerd Fellowship in Canadian-American Studies.” Throughout the doctorate, many friends and colleagues in the department offered great advice and support but I want to especially thank Sanober Umar, Nicolas Haisell, Georgia Carley, Peter Price, Tabitha Renaud, Angela Duffett, and Dinah Jansen. As my officemate for a number of years, Angela was a good friend who always offered advice, conversation, and helped me to keep on track. Dinah has been a great help and a great friend, always generous with her advice and encouragement. I am especially thankful for her letting me stay on a cot in her front room when I returned to Kingston for final edits. From the beginning of the PhD, Rosanne Currarino, Jane Errington, and my supervisor Jeffrey McNairn have been constant in their interest and engagement with my topic and have always proffered excellent advice. Rosanne Currarino was always approachable and it was fun to TA her class. Not only involved with the Doctorate, Jane Errinton and Jeff McNairn were also of immense help during the Masters and this forum provides an opportunity to properly vii acknowledge all their help at that stage of this journey as well. Dr. Errington has always been keenly interested in my progress and I always looked forward to her potlucks. Jeff McNairn dealt deftly with many convoluted drafts as I worked to hone my themes and arguments. He has been an excellent mentor, a perceptive scholar, and a great supervisor. This work is far better thanks to his careful comments and guidance throughout the Masters and the Doctorate. I began working on this topic during my undergraduate studies at Mount Allison University. Kathleen Lord and Hannah Lane along with David Torrance nurtured my passion and interest in history.

  • Canada Rebellion 1837 Mss
    Canada Rebellion 1837 Mss. Coll. No. 55 .5 linear feet Historical note The Canadian Rebellion of 1837 was a movement in Lower Canada toward establishing a French Republic on the St. Lawrence River that was led by Louis Joseph Papineau. During the same year William Lyon MacKenzie led a similar armed revolt in Upper Canada which failed, he then fled to the United States and established headquarters on Navy Island on the Canadian side of the Niagara river and tried to continue the rebellion with the aid of sympathizers from the United States. Among the battles fought during the “Patriot War” was the 1838 Battle of the Windmill, November 12-16. Fought near Prescott, Ontario, across the St. Lawrence River from Ogdensburg, NY, some 300 ragtag, mostly U.S. invaders, attempted to cut off the communication lines of British troops by overtaking Fort Wellington in Prescott. The invasion was a complete failure, with only about 200 landing at Windmill Point. The insurgents were repelled by British regular troops, navy ships and local militia over the four day fight. 159 of the invading force were taken prisoner. The leader of the invaders, Nils Von Schoultz, was executed a few weeks later. Scope & contents This collection (formerly known as Patriots War Collection) consists of several original letters relating to the Battle of the Windmill plus photocopies of other letters, clippings, a list of Americans captured and photos of Windmill Point, Prescott, Ontario. Also included is an article "Mackenzies 1837 Rebellion" as well as copies of The New Yorker from 1838 and The Albion from 1835 to 1844 that contain relevant articles about the rebellion.

  • The Battles of the Windmill
    It is an unknown fact of history that there were actually two Battles of the Wind­ mill and, although the first Battle of the Windmill is well known to historians it is time that the second battle of the Windmill be recorded for posterity since we have such record in the diary and field notes of James West, Provincial Land Surveyor and Civil Engineer. The windmill, now decapitated and converted into a lighthouse in 1872 stands on Windmill Point V/2 miles east of the Town of Prescott on the St. Lawrence River. It was erected in 1822 by a West Indian merchant named Hughes and served the farmers in Grenville County. The village, adjacent to the mill, is now nothing but roofless, window- less stone ruins. The first Battle of the Windmill occurred because of the unrest in both the United States and the five Canadian provinces in the 1830’s. There was a rebellion in both Upper and Lower Canada in 1837, the uprising under William Lyon Mackenzie in Upper Canada at Toronto and the rebellion in Lower Canada under Louis-Joseph Papineau. After the unsuccessful uprisings, Mackenzie, Papineau and other Canadian leaders stirred up strong sympathy among the American population when they had fled across the border. This was instrumental in the formation of secret, underground Patriot Hunter’s The Lodges both in the United States and Canada. By the middle of 1838 they probably numbered 150,000 members, all of whom were dedicated to the forcible overthrow of Canada’s so-called “Oppressors”. After the senseless acts at Prescott in November 1838 and a few weeks later at Windsor, both American and Canadian popular support of the Battles Movement dwindled until the Hunter organization disappeared in 1842.

    “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.

    Buffalo, New York 51 BUFFALO, NEW YORK Population Rank: U.S..... # 58 New York...... # 2 Proportions: 5:8 (official) Adopted: 7 May 1924 (official) DESIGN: The field of Buffalo’s flag is dark blue with a central image in white. In the center is the city seal, from which emanate thirteen rays (“electric flashes”) of three jagged sections each similar to the con- ventional depiction of lightning flashes. Between each pair of flashes is a five-pointed star, point outwards. The seal itself has a narrow ring around the outside edge. The seal’s field is white with blue figures. In the upper half, from the hoist, are a lighthouse on a pier, a three-masted ship under full sail (bow toward the hoist), and a small sailboat. The top of the pier and the surface of the water on which the ship and boat are sailing (Lake Erie) form the bisecting line. The waters of the lake occupy about a third of the top of the seal’s lower half. The remainder shows a shoreline, below which the old Erie Canal is seen, with a canal boat (also headed toward the hoist) being drawn by two horses or don- 52 American City Flags keys, one ahead of the other. The rear animal has a human figure riding it. The lower edge of the canal has a fence running along it, and below are shrubs, filling in the remainder of the seal. The Charter and Code of the City of Buffalo (1974) specifies the offi- cial dimensions: Said flag in dimensions shall be five (5) feet wide by eight (8) feet long, or a flag of other dimensions may be used if the width and length and the follow- ing elements are of similar proportions.
