‘The Garrison Mentality’ Versus ‘La survivance’: English-French Relations in Lower Canada, 1791-1838
|
| Abstract |
A review and comparison of the theses espoused in F. Murray Greenwood’s Legacies of Fear, Françoise Noël’s The Christie Seigneuries, and Allan Greer’s The Patriots and the People. According to the author, Greenwood believes that anxiety over the French Revolution and fear of a French invasion strained relations between English- and French-speaking Lower Canadians, resulting in drastic legislation and an oppressive civil climate; Noël focuses on estate management, concluding that seigneurial tenure promoted socio-economic development as well as freeholding, but led to conflicts between seigneurs and tenants; Greer regards the Rebellion of 1837 as an agrarian protest against commercialization and progress.
