3. Battle of St. Eustache took place on December 14, 1837. 1400 British troops marched into ST. Eustache with 12 cannons. Even though the Patriots were outnumbered, they fought as bravely as they could, but under the forces of the British troops, they had to take shelter in the church. The British set the church on fire and shot Patrots that attempted to escape, despite the fact that the church was a sacred and holy place for both British and French people. The cruelty of St. Eustache ends the Rebellion of Lower Canada, but battles and arguments continue for two more years.
