Violent Loyalties: Manliness, Migration, and the Irish in the Canadas, 1798-1841
|
| Abstract |
The author provides a gendered examination of male Irish migration to Upper and Lower Canada within the broader contexts of negative stereotypes about Irish violence and Irishmen's questionable loyalty to the British Empire in the first four decades of the nineteenth century. One chapter of the author's analysis deals with Edmund Bailey O’Callaghan (1797-1880), editor of the Montreal newspaper The Vindicator and Louis-Joseph Papineau's principal English-speaking lieutenant in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada between 1834 and 1837. An agitator for rebellion in Lower Canada to overthrow British rule in the colony and restructure Canadian society along a more liberal democratic framework, O'Callaghan fled to the United States soon after the Rebellion of 1837 broke out, fearing he would be charged with treason if he remained in Lower Canada. O'Callaghan eventually established himself in a new career as the State Archivist of New York, where he lived out the rest of his life.
