Treachery Revealed : Why E.B. O'Callaghan's Vindicator Piped the Notes of Open Rebellion
|
| Abstract |
Edmund Bailey O’Callaghan (1797-1880) was an Irish-born doctor who immigrated to Quebec City in 1823 and moved to Montreal ten-years later to become editor of the Vindicator and Canadian Advertiser, owned by Patriote sympathizer Édouard-Raymond Fabre. In 1834 O'Callaghan was elected to the Legislative Assembly, where he became a spirited and fiery defender of Louis-Joseph Papineau's Patriote Party. The author describes the political tensions between the Patriote Party and Lower Canada's governors in 1836 and 1837 which, at least partly instigated by O'Callaghan's newspaper articles, lead to open rebellion. Soon after the fighting began, O'Callaghan scurried across the border to the United States, never again to set foot in Canada.
