Title
Montreal Troubles in 1849: From the Repeal of the Canada Corn Act to the Creation of the Annexation Association
Abstract
The author argues that the Montreal riots of 1849 by English Montreal Tories had more to do with the economic depression resulting from Britain's rescinding the protectionist Canada Corn Act in 1846 than with the colonial government's adoption of the Rebellion Losses Bill in 1849, indemnifying those who lost property during the rebellions of 1837 and 1838, including those who supported the Patriote rebels.
