Notice how the CA ensures the protection of the Catholic Church in Lower Canada. • Document #11 (p.14): French-English relations. Notice how Lord Selkirk describes how separate the Canadiens and British really are. That would explain why they argue so much in the Assembly.

Notice how the British colonist want to see the Canadiens assimilated into the British population. • Document #25 (p.24) Papineau’s Liberalism. Notice how Papineau is warning of rebellion if liberal demands are not met.
Documents • Document #33 (p.30): The Battle of St. Eustache. This picture shows an example of the type of pitched battles that the Patriotes fought against the British. • Document #34 (p.31): Declaration of Independence of Lower Canada. The articles of this declaration are good examples of some of the ideal of liberalism and the demands of the Canadiens. • Document #46 (p.36): Lord Durham’s vision of the Canadiens. Lord Durham clearly believes that the British are superior to the Canadien and talks about how to assimilate them.
Documents • Document #52 (p.39): Gov’t of United Canada 1840. This shows what the gov’t was like after the the Act of Union. It made Canadien representatives a minority and did not grant ministerial accountability like the Durham report suggested.
