Title |
La Rébellion de 1837-1838 au Bas-Canada
|
Abstract |
The authors investigate the Rebellion of 1837 and 1838 in Lower Canada, specifically the nature of the conflict itself, as well as its social and economic antecedents, by examining the regional incidence of insurrection. The authors point out that the Patriote rebels were strongest in the western countryside of Lower Canada. This area, the District of Montreal, was rather more prosperous, more dynamic and more urbanized than other parts of rural Lower Canada. The authors argue that rebellion occurred, not in impoverished sections of the countryside, but in areas where English- and French-speakers lived in close proximity and where seigneurial exactions were comparatively high.
