$9.95
The 1837 Rebellion in Upper Canada was a defining moment in Canadian history. It led to political and economic reforms, pushed
forward the process of nationhood, and sparked a sense of patriotism. It was also a time of turbulence, uncertainty, and sacrifice. In this book, Maria Da Silva and Andrew Hind focus on ordinary men and women who found themselves in the middle of an armed revolt. Some of the citizenry were rebels hoping to create a more liberal society, some joined the Tory establishment to defend the Crown, and others found themselves caught in the middle of what became armed conflict in 19th century Ontario.
