Power: The Lower Canada Rebellions

Causes of the Rebellions 1. Life is not good: A) Agricultural crisis (Huge crop failure in 1833) B) Frustration of Canadien middle class because they were excluded from the Executive and Legislative Councils C) Restricted access to land: Seigneuries are overcrowded = lower quality of living

Causes of the Rebellions 2. New Laws: A) Law to make French one of the official languages (rejected) B) Tax on wine and tea C) Tax landowners (to finance construction)(accepted) D) A bill to grant a salary for the Legislative Assembly (rejected)

Causes of the Rebellions 3. Liberalism A) What is it? The idea that people should be able to express themselves freely. B) Characteristics: individual freedom, freedom of expression, participation in politics C) THE PATRIOTES AND LOUIS JOSEPH PAPINEAU are examples of LIBERALISM

Causes of the Rebellions 4. Louis Joseph Papineau A) Member of Legislative Assembly B) Defender of French Canadian interests C) Leader of the Partie Canadien (later the Parti Patriote) D) Demanded a more democratic political system E) Objected to favoritism/corruption of the governor

The Rebellions Papineau does not want to resort to violence. Members of the Patriotes hold public protests. They speak out in public (Liberalism).

Etienne Parent “While we do want reform, we have never intended to achieve it through brute force, but only through peaceful, legal and constitutional means”

The Rebellions Eventually they realize that this is not working, and resort to a violent rebellion.
