The General Court Martial of 1838-39 in Lower Canada: An Abuse of Justice
|
| Abstract |
The author states, with the absolute certainty of 20-20 late twentieth-century hindsight, that the threat of another apprehended insurrection following the second rebellion in 1839 in Lower Canada was "at variance with the reality an historian can establish with relative ease." Therefore, he concludes that the court martial trials of the rebels were an act of revenge sought be the English-speaking population of Lower Canada, and an abuse of justice.
