3 janv. 1830 - The Family Compact and Chateau Clique
Description:
In Upper Canada, a group of wealthy, upper-class, white men who
made up the Executive controlled the economy and government of
Upper Canada from the 1790s to the 1830s. This group was nicknamed
the Family Compact by William Lyon Mackenzie.In Lower Canada, a similar group of men controlled the Executive
from the 1810s to the 1840s. They were nicknamed the Château Clique.
The main difference between these two groups was that the men in the
Château Clique were English-speakers who were governing a French
majority population. The Château Clique pushed to unite Upper and
Lower Canada so that English-speakers would be the majority population.
