The 1837 Rebellions: Chronology of Events
edunetconnect.com

Aristocratic British overlords and their Canadian supporters on one side, Canadian freedom fighters and their American supporters on the other side.

Several of my distant Canadian relatives by marriage participated in this rebellion. One of them, Joshua Doan, was hung by the British and now lies buried in an Ontario cemetery with my great-great-grandparents. Another, Caleb Kipp, was banished from Canada.

The cussed British hung one of my relatives during the American Revolution too: Captain Nathan Hale.

The british, of whom we were in large part composed at the time if you recall, never tried to exterminate us and/or take our country from us .... Canada was a refuge from that sort of thing, for the french, for the indians, for the loyalists

The Lount case i do not know well, from that link it looks like he was a US national who took an oath of allegiance which he subsequently broke by taking up arms against the guvmint of the day .... which guvmint had become cliquey and corrupt in the intervening years since the escape from the thirteen colonies, to be sure, and we internally fixed that, our business not yours

All places run by human beings have internal problems, we had and continue to have lots, nothing to compare with your 1860s style of bloodletting of course, mostly paper shuffling here until the outright fascist aggression begins, but it keeps the paper mills running, and is enough to give us something to talk about between ourselves

.. have to go now, too bad, definitely in typing mood following sight of anti-canadian comments all over .... cheers
