Some Aspects of Civil Litigation in Lower Canada, 1785-1825: Towards the Use of Court Records for Canadian Social History
|
| Abstract |
An analysis of the evolution of civil litigation in Lower Canada according to its nature and to the ethnicity of the litigants. According to the author, the data on the ethnicity of litigants confirms the social separation of English and French in Lower Canada. It also suggests that the majority of contacts between the two groups were made in the context of economic relationships, mostly of the marketplace variety, with the seigneurial regime providing a second area of contact.
