	Historical Summary - Canada
		Upper Canada's European colonization has continued since the American Revolution with Late Loyalists now settling the Niagara peninsula, the Bay of Quinte on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, and lower Ottawa valley, with many aboriginal peoples receiving new lands along the Grand River.
		John Strachan (York's Anglican parish minister and school board organizer) argues that the overabundant clergy reserves be sold to profit the church and that dissenting assemblymen, and especially non-Anglican church leaders, are disloyal to the crown.
		Their destinations are York, London, Bytown (Ottawa), Hamilton, Cobourg and Kingston, and by the end of the decade, Upper Canada's population soars beyond 450,000 -- five times what it was a generation ago.

	Rebellion of 1837-39 in Canada (upper Canada)
		Kevin Harrington, president of ACV/CFA, informed me at NAVA 32 that it is a wide-spread mistake that the Upper Canada Reformist flag is all blue, coming from the fact that the flag kept in a museum is ripped and some people wrongly assumed that the lower half of the flag was all blue.
		The upper half is blue with two white stars, representing the "republics" of Upper and Lower Canada (they were actually colonies, since the rebellions were crushed).
		In Upper Canada, at least, it was the Radicals and not the Reformers who were behind the violence in 1837, and they never amounted to more than about a thousand people within a population of about a half-million.

		The mapping of New York State from 1784 to 1900 reflects the nationwide development of a uniquely American school of cartography, the changing focus and technology of mapping, and the initial influence of Simeon DeWitt, the State's first surveyor-general.
		In 1803, the New York State Senate resolved that a copy of the map, one of the first American-produced officially-sponsored state maps should be sent to each State governor.
		When the New York Legislature failed to provide financial support after a series of petitions and bills in 1853, Smith and John Homer French published privately in Syracuse a New York gazetteer and map in 1859, a work which includes a long list of supervisors, surveyors, statisticians and engravers who collaborated in the project.
