Summary "The 'Patriotes' of '37: A Chronicle of the Lower Canada Rebellion" by Alfred D. DeCelles is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the events surrounding the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837-1838, a significant uprising marked by tensions between French Canadians and the British authorities. The narrative explores the political struggles, cultural conflicts, and key figures involved in this tumultuous period, such as Louis Joseph Papineau and Wolfred Nelson. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage for the rebellion by detailing the complex historical relationship between French and English Canadians since the British conquest of Canada in the 18th century. The opening chapters emphasize how initial cooperation between the two groups slowly deteriorated due to political inequities, cultural tensions, and the loss of trust in the British government. As grievances escalated, the book discusses key events, debates in the assembly, and the rise of influential leaders like Papineau who sought to address their people's demands for greater autonomy and rights, leading to eventual unrest and armed conflict.
