Rebellionsb> of 1837 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Among the recommendations in his report was the establishment of responsible government for the colonies, which meant that a key objective of the rebellionsb> was achieved because of the incident despite the defeat.
Saul suggests the rebellionsb> were both part of the same broad movement for democratic and republican reform, pointing to the extensive correspondence between the leaders of the rebellion, and the prominence of some English speakers in the rebellion in Lower Canada such as the brothers Wolfred Nelson and Robert Nelson.
The Rebellionsb> of 1837 were a pair of Canadian armed uprisings that occurred in 1837 in response to frustrations in political reform and ethnic conflict.

Opinion Canada

While the Patriot Rebellionsb> were precipitated by a whole series of events, the clincher in Lower Canada was without a doubt the British Government's response to the Ninety-two Resolutions a list of grievances, complaints and demands passed by the Lower Canada Assembly and submitted to London in 1834.
The suppression would prove to be even more heavy-handed than in 1837; the British forces burned everything in their path, taking 753 prisoners, 99 of whom were condemned to death.
Their rebellion was part of the culmination of an early 19th century trend of resistance in both Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec) to a British elite that ruled the colonies with little regard for the civil and democratic aspirations of the people.

With hindsight, it can be seen that the 1837-38 rebellionsb> enabled Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine and Robert Baldwin to gather the necessary support to introduce responsible government in 1841.
In the 1830s two men gained prominence: Louis-Joseph Papineau, leader of the Parti Canadien, which later became the Parti Patriote, in Lower Canada, and William Lyon Mackenzie, leader of the Reformers in Upper Canada.
It was very much for this reason that Mackenzie had the greatest respect for the more resolute actions of Papineau and his Patriotes, with whom he collaborated and strategized.

Rebellion of 1837-39 in Canada (upper Canada)

I don't think you can say that they were a minority because these rebellionsb> lead to the creation of the present federation.
All this is said to further the proposition that the so-called rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada/Ontario was, in reality, a bit of a non-event, especially when compared to the contemporaneous one in Lower Canada.
The surviving flag is fragmentary, but is accompanied by a reconstruction, and according to the text alongside, which describes it as the flag of the short-lived 'Republic of Canada', the crescent moon represented the 'hunter's moon', symbol of the many semi-clandestine 'hunters clubs' in the area.

Lower Canada Rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

However, the rebellion was not about language but centered on the unfairness of colonial governing as such, many of the leaders and participants were English-speaking citizens of Lower Canada.
The rebellion of the Patriotes Canadiens of Lower Canada is often seen as the example of what might have happened to the United States of America if the American Revolutionary War had failed.
Following the military defeat of the Patriotes, Lower Canada was merged with Upper Canada under the Union Act and the Canadiens became a minority in the new political entity.

A political union would, he hoped, cause the French-speakers to be assimilated by English-speaking settlements, solving the problem of French Canadian nationalism once and for all.

The Rebellionsb> Part 1: The Political Context

Known as "The Rebellionsb>," these upheavals were more profoundly felt in Lower Canada (Quebec), where Louis-Joseph Papineau and his Patriote Party dominated both the Legislative Assembly and the movement for political reform.
Reform associations were formed in many townships, and speeches at these meetings were reported in local and Montreal newspapers in the years leading up to the first outbreak of the Rebellionsb> in November 1837.
And The Canadian Patriot (Stanstead) was a particularly radical broadsheet which, during the Rebellionsb>, was actually printed across the border in the safety of Derby Line, Vermont.

Initially, W. Mackenzie wanted to pressure the colonial authorities and government by urging a boycott of imported goods, encouraging political unions and associating with reformers from Lower Canada.
In early December 1837, W.*L.*Mackenzie and nearly 1000 men met at Montgomery's Tavern in Toronto to attempt to overthrow the government.

The Chinese Experience in America

Examining the ten California counties with the most numerous Chinese between 1860 and 1910, Chan claims that the Chinese population was not completely segregated into an ethnic economic enclave and that the Chinese did own property and did pay their share of taxes.
The fluidity of Chinese society was best demonstrated by the phenomenal increase in the Chinese population in the 187os and by the fact that every year hundreds of Chinese returned to their native land because of seasonal unemployment.
Most of the opera plots were based on familiar stories, hence the audience could actually learn a few lines from the actors and actresses; female roles were usually played by beardless males.

Chinese American biography .ms

Two incidents have energized some Chinese Americans, particularly American-born Chinese in recent years -- the murder of Vincent Chin by white auto workers in 1982 and the unsubstantiated charges of spying against Chinese American nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1999, whom many believe was a victim of racial stereotyping.
It is for this reason that Chinese Americans do not have any unified political groups or any unified political viewpoints, although some subgroups such as independence oriented Taiwanese Americans do have some effective lobbying groups such as the Formosan American Professional Association.
Absent from the list of Chinese Americans are immigrants from Hong Kong, who because of immigration law, tended to immigrate to Canada.

Turk & Uygur (UIGUR, UIGHUIR, UIGUIR, and WEIWUER) -- Political, Social, Cultural, Historical Analysis Of China -- Research Into Origins Of Huns, Uygurs, Mongols And Tibetans

Chinese history books invariably claimed that the Gaoche people, the Tiele Tribe (ancestors of Uygurs), Ruruans (Rou Ran or Ru Ru), and Turks were alternative races of the Huns.
In AD 751, Tang Chinese army of 30 thousand, led by General Gao Xianzhi (governor-general of the four cities of Chouci-Yutian-Shule-Suiye), were invited by locals to counter Arab invasion.
This claim did corroborate with this webmaster's historical analysis of Huns, Turks and Mongols which yielded the conclusion that the Mongoloid had a pattern of raiding to the west, not the other way around by the Indo-Europeans.

History of China - Enpsychlopedia

Further, the suppression of the rebellionsb> was achieved chiefly by armies commanded or advised by western leaders, which undermined the credibility of the Qing regime, and by local initiatives spearheaded by provincial leaders and gentry which decentralized authority within the Empire and helped contribute to the rise of warlordism in China.
One of the warlords, Huang Chao, captured Canton in 879, killing most of the 200,000 inhabitants including most of the large colony of foreign merchant families there.
Chinese historians living in later periods were accustomed to the notion of one dynasty succeeding another, but the actual political situation in early China is known to have been much more complicated.
