jan 3, 1837 - Tensions Erupt.
Description:
In Lower Canada, the Parti Patriote saw all of its 92 Resolutions rejected by
the British government in March 1837. This rejection fuelled Patriote anger
and pushed more radical Patriotes, such as Dr. Wolfred Nelson, to support
the idea of a rebellion.In Upper Canada, the Tories and the Reformers were locked in a constant
struggle for political power. The divisions among the Reformers made them
less effective against the Tories. These divisions led to a Tory victory in the
1836 election. The Tory victory caused frustration for both moderate and
radical Reformers.
