The 'Patriotes' of '37: A Chronicle of the Lower Canada Rebellion

The narrative traces political tensions in Lower Canada leading to the 1837–38 uprisings, explaining economic and cultural grievances under British administration, the emergence of a reform movement led by Louis-Joseph Papineau, and the legislative battles over the Ninety-Two Resolutions and the Imperial response in the Russell Resolutions and Royal Commission. It recounts the outbreak of violence, skirmishes at St. Denis, St. Charles and St. Eustache, and the two phases of rebellion, and concludes with the suppression of the insurgency and reflections on its causes, consequences, and historiography, supplemented by illustrations and a bibliographical note.
