Sinossi
Excerpt from The 'Patriotes' of '37: A Chronicle of the Lower Canadian Rebellion
The manuscript for this little book, written by me in French, was handed over for transla tion to Mr Stewart Wallace. The result as here presented is therefore a joint product. Mr Wallace, himself a writer of ability and a student of Canadian history, naturally made a very free translation of my work and intro duced some ideas of his own. He insists, however, that the work is mine; and, with this acknowledgment of his part in it, I can do no less than acquiesce, at the same time expressing my pleasure at having had as collaborator a young writer of such good in sight. And it is surely appropriate that an English Canadian and a French Canadian should join in a narrative of the political war.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the events leading to armed conflict between French and English Canadians in 1837, a clash that, against the odds, did not escalate into civil war. The author details the political landscape of Canada in the decades following its conquest by the British in 1760, paying close attention to the policies which led the largely rural French population to feel increasingly disenfranchised. The book delves into the nuanced positions of the main protagonists, including that of Louis-Joseph Papineau, whose early moderation and reformist zeal gradually hardened into radicalism. The volume ultimately shows how despite growing racial animosity, peace prevailed in most of the province, a testament to the strength of the bond between the two communities.
