Rebellions of 1837-38 - Wallace |
 | | Between the rebellions in the two provinces there was some slight connection; for there is no doubt that the rebels in Upper Canada were, before the rebellion, in communication with those in Lower Canada, and joint action had been agreed upon. |
 | | Until the summer of 1837, the leader of the advanced wing of the Reform party in Upper Canada, William Lyon Mackenzie, conducted his agitation for reform along constitutional lines; but by that time he had come to' despair of achieving anything by constitutional methods, and had begun to boast of his "rebel blood". |
 | | For the rebellion in Upper Canada, reference should be had to J. Dent, The story of the rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada (2 vols., Toronto, 1885), D. Read, The rebellion of 1837 (Toronto, 1897), W. Wallace, The Family Compact (Toronto, 1915); and A. Dunham, Political unrest in Upper Canada (London, 1927). |
