The history of Canada's occupation by Whites was not marked by the prolonged race wars which accompanied the settlement of America.

 Building the Educational State: Canada West, 1836--1871. by Paul W. Bennett   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The book demonstrates how the ''governing classes' in Canada West established a centrally controlled system of public elementary schooling for the ''politically organized subjection' and ''moral regulation' of the masses.
The development of state schooling in Canada West is stripped of its ''positivist' clothing; public education brings political subjectation and moral regulation rather than onward and upward social progress.
In Curtis's book we see the governing classes utilizing their power and influence to construct a form of state instruction that destroys or marginalizes earlier, locally controlled schools and substitutes a new set of routine procedures and disciplinary practices aimed at the population as a whole.
