Canadian Rebellions

Since the exploration to the New World, England and France have had conflicts and disagreements over every little thing. The French and the English people started most of the issues during and at the end of King George’s War (Shultz, 2010 p. 77). After this war ended, the decisions made for the New World and its territories were uncertain. Since the decisions were in the air, the American colonists pushed forward into the Ohio Valley, resulting in the enragement of the French, because that was their claimed land and where they established trade (Shultz, 2010 p. 77). To strike back, the French formed Fort Duquesne, the largest military unit of the French’s “series of military strongholds” (Shultz, 2010 p. 77). The Virginia Colonists built Fort

At some point, countries will fight for freedom at their breaking point. For example, during the mid 1900s, Canada did their own movement called the Quebec Separatist Movement. The movement was about Quebec’s independence from government. The movement involved the citizens of Quebec and a group called Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ). The Front de Liberation du Quebec had kidnapped people in Canada. The Quebec Separatist Movement began due to Quebec’s citizens ambition to become independent and was finally resolved by making a new constitution.

The Rebellion of Upper and Lower Canada mainly occurred because of land issues, government inequality, and irresponsibility to the people. Power was held by a small group of noble elites, they can veto any law that hurts their status. Mainly controlled by wealthy English aristocrats / businessmen,

On April 19, 1775, the citizens of the british colonies of america started a revolution against Great Britain by signing the Declaration of Independence. The decision to do so was supported by what the american people felt was a severe lack of freedom from the British government. the beginning of the American Revolution, the british colonies in America were very harsh on their citizens in terms of freedom. Citizens of these colonies were not allowed to verbally disparage the government and were forced to share religious beliefs with the Church of England. In rebellion, the american people took a stand against Great Britain, and declared themselves as the United States of America.

The American Revolution was undeniably the most pivotal time period in respect to United States History, but who was really to blame for initiating the conflict? While both the British politicians and American colonists shared the blame for the kindling of the revolution, one party was certainly more at fault than the other: the British. Through short-term causes of taxation and incommodious trade acts, and long-term causes of salutary neglect and involvement in the burdensome French & Indian War, the British politicians proved to ultimately be the most responsible for igniting the Revolutionary War.

Losses like the Battle of Second Ypres where 60,000 Canadians died and Battle of the Somme where 600,000 of Allied troops were wounded had a big impact on Canada. The Canadian troops had started to doubt the British leaders. Since Canada had a lack of experience with wars they didn't have many commanding roles. This began to cause resentment but changed in 1916 when Canadians were promoted.

The most important aspect of this proposal deals with the aftermath of the Canadian insurrections. This will be of extreme to significance to the reader as the aftermath of the rebellion would change the destiny of Canada. After learning of the uprisings in the Canadian colonies the British parliament sent a commission to study the causes. Lord Durham was named governor on May of 1839 and was in placed in charge of establishing an inquiry into the rebellions. From this inquiry came a list of recommendations submitted to the parliament in London (Outlett, 275). Two recommendations in this report became extremely significant to Canadian history.

The American colonists were ruled by the British in the 17th and 18th century, and during this time Britain had the right to tax and manage commerce in the colonies as they saw fit. There comes a time when this strict enforcement of rules become a legitimate invasion of personal liberty. This is what happened in 1768 when Britain temporally dissolved the Massachusetts Assembly. From 1763 to 1768, Britain was acting reasonably in maintaining a decent relationship with the colonies. Indeed, many regulations such as the Royal Proclamation, the Stamp Act, and the Currency Act troubled the colonists, but they were required to obey because Britain held supreme authority. Britain created the colonies as an expansion of their own empire. However, starting

“Tell me Jason what do you think will come out of the colonists rebelling against the crown,” William asked. “I am not really sure to think, but I am sure that if the rebellion ends with the colonists defeating the British then I am sure it will greatly affect the British empire,” I said. “It would also affect our society once the link between Britain and the colonies is broken I am sure that our kinds' link to the old world would also fade away.” “There are some vampires who believe that we should separate from the old world since they are so far away from us, and I would think that may be the true.” “Maybe you are right it takes weeks for a letter to reach the council, and I have been told that they have become very corrupt.” “I have heard

The War of 1812 built up hatred overtime between the Americans and the British. But as a result, there were no territorial changes. Another significant event before the Annexation Manifesto was the Rebellion of 1837. It caused a backfire which led to a massive violence when Lower and Upper Canada took arms to achieve a responsible government. Although the Rebellions of 1837 were motivated in part by this type of dissatisfaction, Canadian resentment of British rule never reached the degree that led to the American Revolution in 1775. Notably, Canada 's population grew rapidly in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Canada 's population grew due to United Empire Loyalists, who left the American colonies during the Revolution because of their loyalty to Great Britain. In

The first Pilgrims in America set sail from England on the Mayflower in September 1620. More than 100 people were aboard the ship, many of them seeking religious freedom in the New World. In November the ship landed on the shores of Cape Cod which in present day would be called Massachusetts. The intended destination was near the Hudson River in Virginia, an already established colony. They sent out a search party toward the end of December to look for the group of passengers but the pilgrims had landed at Plymouth Harbor by mistake.

Have you seen those weird music festival T-shirts that people wear and wonder what someone could possibly want to wear that for? While they’re sometimes meant to catch attention of people so they may want to look up the festival, it also serves as a reminder for many amazing memories for the two or three-day event. For a long time now music has changed people’s lives in many ways. It has brought people to fame and lifted many out of depressions. But, to those who haven’t experienced a festival, or even live music in general, you have been missing out an amazing social experience like no other. From the kings of festivals like Woodstock or Coachella to the lesser known ones like Rock on the Range (Hard rock/metal based) and Day for Night (variety) there are hundreds to pick from. One of my favorites is Carolina Rebellion which takes place right in this state.

The after effect of the war was not what the European and North American countries expected, the war concluded with Canadian citizens in a displeased and agitated state. The First World War was extremely significant to Canada because it was their first major battle in which they were triumphant and gained independence. However, the country did not foresee the difficulties that accompanied the war. As a result, the end of WWI led to a period of negative conditions in Canada due to the banning of alcohol, rising government debt, and increasing unemployment.

Throughout the years many historians have compilated and examined why Indian people were so desperate to gain back their independence from the British Empire during their rule over India, from 1612 to 1947. The reasoning can most definitely be found as the British discriminated against Indian people as they believe that they were inferior; it is no surprise that Indian people fought so hard for their independence. Throughout the British Raj, they placed and put forward unbelievably racist acts and laws which discriminated against Indian people. Which of course led to Indians to rebel against the British rule and which the British reacted with causing massacres. Explaining the nationalistic many India’s felt during the British Raj.

Internationally, Canada is seen as a peaceful country with very little conflict, and throughout history this portrait of Canada has always been that of a passive and amicle nature. While this may be true in regards to external conflict, this picturesque vison of a non-violent Canada falls short when looking at internal issues. Today Canada may be recognized as a LGBTQ+ accepting space, but it was not always this way; the city of Toronto had LGBTQ+ conflict that went on for decades. When looking at queer history the conflicts in the United States, such as the stonewall riots are internationally regarded, but people are seldom aware of what was happening in Canada at the same time. This overlooked past was brought into light during the reading
