Canada under British Rule 1760-1900

The book traces the region's transformation from the French colonial period into stable British governance, examining legal and religious accommodations, the arrival of Loyalist settlers, the impact of the War of 1812, mid-century rebellions, and the establishment of responsible government and federal union. It interweaves political narrative with economic, social, and institutional analysis, follows expansion to the Pacific and late-nineteenth-century developments, and reviews border and diplomatic relations with a neighboring republic. Maps, chronological chapters, and comparative appendices on federal constitutions support readers seeking structure and further sources.
