The people who were involed in the conflict of Lower Canada was the Patriots/rebels who wanted changes and did not like the way the the British government called the Chateau Clique ran there ways and they wanted changes and so they started a war against the British and there goverment

[]

Papinea and his group of rebels called the Patriots wanted alot of changes in the British government, these were called the 92 resolutions. The government did not like the ideas and declined all the demands. This made the Patriots very mad and they started fighting and the war started.

The war started in November 6, 1837. many lives were claimed but eventually the war ended in November 10, 1838. the British government rose over the Patriots.

Some important events in the battle are Papineau did a public speech about the unfairness of the British government.They wanted to promote culture, rights, and interests. The British government didn't like that and some riots started. That happened because Papineau and the Patriots asked the British government for many changes. The british government rejected it all.The farmers had crop failures in some parts of lower Canada and the British would not give the farmers money. That made the patriots very angry and fighting broke out.THe government tried to arrest the Parti Patriotes the leaders fled to the countryside and the rebellion started. The patriots won the first battle but then the British soldiers got reinforcments and completely overwhelmed the patriots. Even though the patriots lost it forced the British government to make some changes. After they lost Papineau fled to the united states.​ Where he hid. Other rebels did the same. Later they returned to lower canada in hope of taking down the government but those thoughts were quickly diminished.

The leader of the Patriots was Louis-Joseph Papineau, and the Parti Patriotes.The followers were the Patriots. The British Government leader was Chateau Clique.

The most important battles of the war of rebellions of lower canada war are probobly the battle of St.Denis and the battle of St.Eustache. In the battle of St.Denis a man named Charles Gore led the British to battle when the patriots caught them by suprise when they ran out of a house and attacked the British. the patriots were led by Dr.Wolfre Nelson. The British were tired running out of ammo and just got reingforcements but it was not enough, the British retreated and the Patriots won. is important because the patriots won and they did not win much battles. In the battle of St.Eustache a man named John Colborne led the british after they just won a battle. The plan was to attack the patriotes in a suprise attack. they surounded the village. They fired altilary at the center of the village and led the soilders Through the main road. Some patriots were still in the village and they fought the British.Eventually the British won. This was a big part in the war because it ended it.

The rebellions/Patriots won several battles over the whole war. Papineau was the rebelions leader. The rebels/Patriots won quite a few battles but overal the British over welmed them and the rebels got defeated and deported to Austraila and other places around the world so in other words they got assimilated or deported. The people who stayed in Canada had to speak the english language and many people were unhappy. Lower Canada became eastern Canada and Upper Canada became the west. The rebels/Patriots lost but they were one step closer to getting the democracey we have today!

There where really no treaties exept for two acts that happened. 1) The Durham Report, was about when two colonies tryied to form one colony the two colonies were the U and the L also know as Upper and Lower Canada. The report was completed in January, 1839 and presented Colonial Office 4 February 1839 by John George Lambton, the earl of Durham. 2) Act of Union-1841. The Act of the British Parliament, passed July 1840 and proclaimed 10 February 1841, uniting Upper Canada and Lower Canada under one government. The act was trying to get two colonies into one colony with two seperate provinces. The canadiens were very made because they either followed the rules, speak only english, or get deported.

The effect on Canadian identity of the conflict. Here is what the act of union said Lower Canada was made Canada east. The change of government was one step closer to the government today. After the war only the english language was allowed for a time period, then french was allowed. That was where Quebec was made. This picture is a picture of lord durham. He made a very famous report. In it he stated that in orderake an english speaking majority that upper and lower canada would be joined. Also he believed that he would assure the French Assimilation. Also Durham reccomended that the colonies should get more independence from the mother country.
