Summary "British Supremacy & Canadian Self-Government, 1839-1854" by J. L. Morison is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complex relationship between British imperial authority and the burgeoning desire for autonomy within Canada during a critical period in its history. It delves into the governance challenges and political landscape that shaped Canadian self-governance amidst British supremacy. The opening of the work sets the stage for an in-depth examination of the political dynamics at play in Canada between 1839 and 1854, highlighting the contradiction between imperial control and colonial autonomy. Morison introduces the fundamental antinomy of the time, which was shaped by historical context and the influences of key figures such as Lord Durham. He prepares readers for a narrative that will analyze the political community, the roles of the governors-general, and the significance of self-government as both a Canadian priority and a complex negotiation with British officials. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the social and political fabric that characterized Canadian society during these transformative years, where the struggle for autonomy began to take precedence in the fabric of imperial governance.
