Rebellion of 1837
Dannicah S. Blk 2. 3 revolt of 1837 After learning abtaboo the rebellion of 1837 and constantly taking notes, I realized the rebellion was not no-hit in overturning the governing body merely it did unite both(prenominal) f number and lour Canada together. This was able to take away(predicate) either differences of the two cultures, English and French. The impact did not happen presently as int terminate though. In fact it begetd the government to get gage at the reformers and concentrate more on their punishment such as transportation, hanging, flogging and deaths for the rebels, instead of working on fixing the colony.You can place that Canada had a serious political problem that was in desperate carry to be improved. When the Chateau Clique and the reformers squared off against each other, the British did nought to ease tension. They appointed James Craig, an anti-French as governor just to give those who criticized the government and brought soldiers to intimidate t he French. The French Canadians disapproved of the British majority retrieve and found it very(prenominal) difficult to accept. There were numerous reasons why many French Canadians resented the government.Three crucial ones were because of how discriminative economic every(prenominal)y and politically the government was of their language and culture, how they were given nonequivalent taxation, and for their lack in power over the government. Although, this all happened in Lower Canada. The rebellion in Upper Canada was to bring an the Statesn style democracy because they, as well as the people in Lower Canada, believed that their government were discriminative against the French. The reason why I believe the rebellion in both Lower and Upper Canada was unsuccessful because they did not shit any reasonable impact on any British colonies immediately.To begin with, the rise in Upper Canada failight-emitting diode miserably because of their lack of military experience. Many rebel lions were killed during mesh and several were arrested. Some even fled to America, they were no match for the British. This rebellion would have been more successful if the Catholic Church participated however church leadership advised parishioners to stay loyal to the British. The rebellion in Lower Canada ended quickly. The rebellion in Upper Canada also did not turn out so good as well since the British military overpowered them.Even though Mackenzie, leader of the Upper Canada rebellion, took time to train his rebels and plan, the whole event all just led to deaths and arrest of many patriots. Mackenzie also escaped to America where he gained supporters there. In the end the British government continued to rule of Canada where they focused on discussing major punishment for the rebels. In my opinion, the leaders who led the rebellion of both Upper and Lower Canada were very similar. They could motivate emotions with oral communication but they had no idea how to organize th eir supporters into affective forces.Eventually, Britains ship canal of administrating the colonies would have to change. John Lambton, the Earl of Durham, a reformer politician, realized the whole cause of the rebellion was the conflict between the English and French. He then proposed that Upper and Lower Canada should be united. In conclusion, the whole Rebellion was not successful as planned since the impact did not happen immediately but when Lower and Upper Canada was united it developed a new country. However, both leaders of the Rebellion returned to Canada eventually and were considered heroes by some and other as troublemakers.
