	Donald Creighton Summary
		Donald Creighton is Canada's best-known and most influential historian, and much of his influence lies in the fact that he always considered history--and biography, in which he has also excelled--to be among the literary arts.
		Donald Grant Creighton, the son of William Black Creighton, an editor, and Laura Harvie Creighton, was born in Toronto in 1902, and Upper Canada shaped the attitudes and values he expressed throughout the rest of his life.
		Creighton detested the Liberal Party as he saw the Liberals as the party of Continentalism (i.e moving Canada closer to the United States) and for taking steps that Creighton as an attack on Canada's British heritage such as replacing the Red Ensign with the Maple Leaf flag in 1965.

	USCA1 Opinion
		Creighton was subsequently retried by a newly impaneled jury, with the same Superior Court judge presiding, and convicted of rape, kidnapping, and assault and battery.
		Creighton maintains that the Double Jeopardy Clause barred his retrial because the court declared the mistrial sua sponte absent manifest necessity and, alternatively, the trial judge's conduct was intended to provoke Creighton to request a mistrial.
		However, Creighton himself testified that he did, in fact, ejaculate during intercourse with the victim, and the victim herself testified that her medical examination indicated that no bruises were found.

		Creighton often engaged in feuds with historians whose interpretations he disliked, but he was well-known as a kind-hearted and munificent professor towards his students, albeit one who was severe with those who engaged in work that Creighton thought was wrong-headed.

	Causes of Confederation
		Creighton states that the building of the Intercolonial Railway, pressure from the United States and especially the Fenians, the quest for westward expansion, "deadlock" in the Canadian Legislature, and intervention from the imperial government, are the causes of Confederation.
		Creighton suggests that military pressure from the United States, who just ended their civil war, and also from the Fenians, the group looking for Irish liberation, was one of the reasons in which union occurred.
		Creighton's view is that British intervention and pressure was one of the major causes of Confederation.

	Books in Canada - Review
		Creighton, on the other hand, may be among our most politically incorrect historians, but he is still mightily there.
		The consequences of Creighton's triumph are deeply etched in the way Canadians have understood constitutional history during the constitutional crisis of the last quarter-century.
		But Creighton, in all his bulk and brilliance, forms a barrier that prevents Professor Stevenson from going farther, from discovering that debate on the ideas that interest him- about federalism, about democracy, about the uses of the state-actually thrived before July 2nd, 1867, and despite Creighton, despite Macdonald, rooted themselves in the Confederation settlement itself.

		Creighton was educated at the University of Toronto and at Oxford.
		Creighton begins with a description of Ottawa, the capital of the new Dominion of Canada, in 1867, "A small, northern frontier town, set at the edge of a vast expanse of territory that still awaited occupation and development, it was in many respects a miniature of the new nation as a whole."(pg.

	U of T Magazine -- Spring 2002
		Creighton planned to study and do original research on the history of the French Revolution, but at Oxford, the young scholar found himself drawn to Canadian history, at a time when, professionally, the field was scarcely recognized.
		But the more Creighton thought about it – Canada's heroic contribution to the First World War, the country's resistance to the relentlessly expansive pressure of the United States, the accommodation within of French and English – the more he became convinced that his own nation's history was worthy of serious intellectual pursuit.
		Central to Creighton's conceptualizing of Canadian history was the "Laurentian thesis," the argument that Canada made sense both politically as a counterpoint to the U.S., and economically because of the St. Lawrence River, which bisects the eastern part of the continent.

		Donald Creighton is remembered as an anti-French bigot.
		Although capable of intemperate remarks, Creighton’s position was more thoughtful: for example, he distrusted devolution of powers to the provinces and he argued that French secondary schools in Ontario would render Franco-Ontarians second-class citizens, unable to compete in a labour market dominated by English.
		Donald A. Wright completed his BA at Mount Allison University and his MA at McGill University.

		Creighton's biography of Sir.John A. Macdonald is a spirited and animated defence of Macdonald, and the way he gave his life to preserve and keep Canada firm and intact.
		Creighton wrote many other books on Canadian history, and in each of these books, he probes and examines the struggles within the Canadian soul to preserve its own way or annex and integrate with the USA.
		Creighton realized that genuine Canadian Toryism was not averse or opposed to a concern for the common good and the protection of the Canadian way over and against the American.

		Indeed, Creighton wrote Macdonald's biography in the shape of a novel, which means that the only quotations in the book are either from newspaper articles or from letters written by, to, or about John A. Macdonald.
		Creighton, who died in 1979, was known as a Canadian nationalist with strong anti-American tendencies.
		Creighton's position regarding French-Canadian nationalism and Quebec separatism (he saw them as disruptive elements that weakened his beloved Canada against the United States) also had an impact on how the book was written, which is particularly evident when he writes about the two Metis rebellions in a rather unsympathetic way.

	The Canadas and the Commercial Empire of the St
		The standard reference on the St.Lawrence waterway and the commercial life which grew up around it was once Donald Creighton’s, The Empire of the St. Lawrence (originally published as The Commercial Empire of the St. Lawrence, 1760-1850).
		Creighton described his work as "a study of commerce and politics," the purpose of which was to "trace the relations between the commercial system of the St. Lawrence and the political development of Canada." More recent work suggests that Creighton exaggerated the role played by commercial interests in Canadian development during the period before 1850.
		Even if it was, like the staples approach it was so closely aligned with, Creighton's vision serves to structure the complex interaction of geography, politics, and economics which shaped the emergence of Canada as an independent nation in the latter part of the 19th Century.
