Québec History 18 - The Lower Canada Patriots

Québec a Nation History (Part 18)

The Parti Patriote was a Republican political party in what is now Québec, that was founded at the beginning of the 19th century. Most of it's members were Québecers and Irish immigrants, included François Blanchet, Pierre-Stanislas Bédard, Jean-Thomas Taschereau, Louis Bourdages, Denis-Benjamin Viger, Daniel Tracey, Edmund Bailey O'Callaghan and Louis-Joseph Papineau.

Under the leadership of Pierre-Stanislas Bédard, the party campaigned for ministerial responsibility and a responsible government in which the members of the Legislative Council of Quebec would be appointed by the Legislative Assembly's majority party. The council was chosen by an appointed British governor, whom the Parti Patriote considered to be severely corrupted and hostile to the interests of the majority of the population.

During a partial election in Montreal on May 21, 1832 British soldiers open fire on the crowd of civilians and kill three supporters of the Parti Patriote.

The Lower Canada Rebellion, La rébellion du Bas-Canada, is the name given to the armed conflict between the rebels of Lower Canada (now Québec) and the British colonial power of that province.

Je pense que les producers de cette series avez oublier la guerre de 1812 quand les Quebecois a des victoires against les Americans. Ils n'avont pas dit if il y a des anglophones killed during the election. Pardon mon francais. Je suis anglo.

I love this series I watched it in my socials class. According to my socials teacher most of the cast is students who study the history of the part of the documentary in the area that it happened.

You forgot to mention that Canada has the “Indian Problem”. Now is the real “Indian Problem” Canadian are going to face. Canada will be indicted for murdering aboriginal children in the Indian residential schools. Do a google search on “Hidden from History” or “Canada’s hidden holocaust”. Know your country before calling yourself a proud Canadian. I call my self an Indian because I am proud to be an Indian!
