The Roots of Separatism
|
| Abstract |
According to the author, both the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Church supported colonialism, separatism and feudalism. In Upper Canada Anglican Bishop John Strachan and Catholic Bishop Macdonell supported aristocratic, sectarian grammar schools, and in Lower Canada the Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning, an Anglican elite organization, served similar ends. Democratic reformers won a temporary victory for common, secular schools in Lower Canada in 1829, but their system was disallowed in 1837. The Education Act of 1841 established separate religious schools, and the act of 1846 deepened the divide along French-Catholic and English-Anglican lines. Efforts in 1848 and 1858 of national, secular and democratic reformers to abolish the separate system failed.
