Teenage Rebellion Research Paper

In New France they have King Louis XIV. In Canada today we have Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In New France they follow minority rules. This means that none of the colonists can give their thoughts and opinions. In Canada today, we follow majority rules. This means that colonists can give their thoughts and opinions. New France has an absolute monarch; has a monarchy government. Canada today doesn’t; runs under a democratic government. In New France, King Louis XIV would select his representatives. We don’t have a king to select representatives today. We have Queen Elizabeth II. She doesn’t do much work. Our prime minister does. In New France, the governor general has multiple roles. In Canada, the governor general is more figure headed. Also, the King made laws in New France. The House of Commons/government creates laws in Canada today. In New France, women weren’t involved in government. In Canada today, multiple women are associated with government. Some similar facts are that both countries run on a monarchy. Also, both governors are figure

Overtime, during the 1600's and 1700's many missionaries and fur trappers and other French colonists came to Canada and lived with the Native Americans. Some of the French who came even intermarried with some of the Native Americans. Eventually, Britain came to power and took control of Canada in 1763 after defeating France in the French and Indian war. After Britain took power, many English-speaking people settled into Canada. Most of these English-speaking people who settled were from Great Britain and some were loyalist Americans. During Britain's control of power in Canada, Britain's parliament eventually split Canada into two new providences. The two providences were Upper Canada and Lower Canada. Today Upper Canada is now Ontario and Lower Canada is now Quebec. The reason for Britain's parliament splitting Canada into Upper Canada and Lower Canada was because of conflict between two religions. The two religions were Roman Catholic and Protestant. Both religious groups wanted to have a bigger voice in controlling their own affairs which led to conflict between the two religions. After both religions kept pressuring Britain to give them these powers, Britain finally gave in and split Canada into two providences in 1791. This now became Upper Canada and Lower Canada.

In Canadian history, nationalism and sovereignty tend to be common themes prevalent since Confederation. A well-known example of this in Quebec was during the Quiet Revolution which strengthened the need for change through Premier Lesage’s reforms and in turn, developed a strong sense of nationalism in Quebec. In contrast to beliefs that the rapid modernization of the Quiet Revolution had a positive impact on Quebec, it rather had a negative impact on Quebec and its citizens and identity. The three consequences which arose in Quebec as a result of the revolution are the encouragement of separatism, the elimination of traditional values and roles and the establishment of powerful bureaucratic control. Quebec’s attempt to be more like the

The rebellions of Upper and Lower Canada were in the interests of self-government but were doomed to failure from their beginning. Each of these two colonies encountered a great deal of problems right from the institution of the Constitution Act of 1791 and the problems continually got worse until the only choice to some seem to be rebellion. There were several problems that lead to the rebellions of 1837-38. In Lower Canada there was the agricultural crisis that caused a large number of starvations, to the French and English political and social problems within the colony. There were several different reasons that caused the rebellion in Upper Canada but these caused were mainly rooted in

Due to the bitter rivalries of their mother countries, the two sides also had a strong feels of animosity against one another. This animosity was furthered when the French surrendered New France. This cession of French territory to the British occurred after the French and Indian Wars of the mid 18th century; specifically after the treaty of Paris in February 20th of 1763. The essential annexation brought about much anger within the French. This was illustrated during the highlights of the Patriote movement (the rebellions of 1837 and 1838) and the secession of New France to become British. These events, along with prior rivalry with Britain and its colonies brought forth a substantial amount of Francophone nationalism. Though the rebellion was also caused by famine and poverty on some level, it was the strong French nationalism was the spark that brought about Canada’s first “civil war.”

     Ever since the terrible tragedy at Columbine High School, there has been a numerous list of recent school shootings in America. Youth violence is a major issue in today’s society. Many people dread what causes adolescents to be so violent, committing horrible crimes.     

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,

As time goes on, some countries become more relevant in the global sphere while others start to fade away. Canada is a country that only becomes more relevant as time goes on. Since being granted full sovereignty, Canada has had a growing role as a major world player. Much of their international growth has to do with its close ties to the United States and the United Kingdom. However, the country has also undergone huge change and refocusing on a domestic level. With influence from both Europe and the United States, Canada has a very unique system of governing. This paper will focus on a few major areas of Canada. It will look into the history of Canada, the structure of its government, its politics, and many of the major issues it faces today.

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 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

Whereas the Upper Canada Rebellion was highly centralized on the fact that the “Upper Canadians” wanted an equal or separate state(Carmen,3),what distances this from the american revolution is the fact that this was not a national undertaking but a francophone-upper canadian bid for independence not a “Canadian” one.Although the Upper Canadian Rebellion did call on all people living in Upper Canada,it really was centralized to the UppeR Canada region,the reason the rebellion stayed so centralized,is due to both a language barrier and foreign influence in Lower Canada. Lower Canada,which extends into Quebec was a mostly French area of influence ,with mostly French language speakers(Library and Archives Canada), this language barrier made for a distinct sense of division between the Upper Canadian anglophones and the Lower Canadian francophones,this division made for a distrust of each side,so as a result it was impossible to gain support from the “opposite” Canada.This differs from the American Revolution because in the American Revolution,the language barrier was almost nonexistent, and the patriotism was spread throughout the nation and did not localize itself in only one

In Lower Canada, the conflict had been divided along linguistic and cultural lines. Within Durham’s report, The Act of Union, and1841 Election. The English and French battled out the ultimate power control over the new nation, where the lower Canada and the upper Canada became as one. In Durham’s report back in 1839, he came up with two recommendation: union of Upper Canada and Lower Canada, and a responsible government. “I expected to find a conflict between the government an the peoples: instead I found two warring nations within a single state; I found a struggle, not of principles…which now divides the inhabitants of lower Canada into hostile groups: French and English.” Quote from Lore Durham (1839 - Lord Durham’s Report). To solve this

Trying to be that rebellious teen isn’t as cool as many would think. Have you ever gotten in those dumb situations where you look back and you just put your hand on your face, sigh, and then ask “Ugh, why did I do that?” Yeah, that was me when I was lost at Busch Wildlife. I was there, at Busch Wildlife, for Cross Country Summer Running during Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the summer of 2012 and, at the time, I was only there a couple of times and knew limited amount of people so I didn’t fully know where any path would take me and ask for help. Getting lost for two and a half hours at Busch Wildlife taught me that it’s good to be adventurous and take chances, to take the time to appreciate the beauty nature has to offer us, and to stay with a group even if they embarrass you.
