Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the background of an uprising in Upper Canada in 1837 led by William Lyon Mackenzie. The author chronicles the mounting tensions between the Family Compact, an elite group with complete control of the political landscape, and the growing number of immigrants and settlers who were denied a voice. The book examines the role of the press, and how Mackenzie's newspaper, The Constitution, acted as a catalyst for the rebellion. The author delves into the events leading up to the day of the rebellion, when rebels planned to seize Toronto, and assesses how a series of missteps and miscommunications led to the rebellion's swift end. The insightful text offers a fresh perspective on this critical event in Upper Canadian history.
