Book excerpt: About 500,000 colonists remained faithful to the British crown. Many loyalists agreed that America had suffered wrongs at the hands of Britain, but unlike the rebels, they believed that the solution to those ills could be worked out inside the Empire. Over the course of the war between thirty and fifty thousand Loyalists joined Loyalist regiments. Despite the steadfast service of the northern Loyalists and their almost unbroken string of victories, the war did not go well for the British. The entry of the French on the side of the rebellious colonies in 1778 was a heavy blow. The British army was defeated. The Loyalists were forced from their land in the United States, and they wanted to own their own land. The British government made treaties with the Indians to obtain land for the settlers. Tom and Betsey O'Donnell are introduced early as the pioneer family followed in their early years of starting a farm in the wilds of Upper Canada. Andrew and Mary Parker, former neighbours of the O'Donnells, are introduced next. Andrew is a carpenter and thoroughly enjoys his creative work. Mary is a loving wife who looks after their home and vegetable garden. When we first meet them, Mary is expecting their first child. Andrew gets his lumber from John Cripps and Mary enjoys a visit with Catherine while the men discuss business. Catherine's daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, comes for a visit as well. Elizabeth is also expecting her first child and the three women have questions, concerns and knowledge to share. Mary Parker reads an article in The Church magazine about a woman named Laura Secord who walked a long way to warn the British of a planned American attack. This begins a search for more information. The Parkers visit the O'Donnells and solicit information from Betsey from her parents who live in the Niagara area. The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Great Britain from 1812-1815. From the end of the American Revolution, the American colonies had been irritated by the failure of the British to withdraw from American territory along the Great Lakes, their backing of the Indians on America's frontiers, and their unwillingness to sign commercial agreements favourable to the colonies. Resentment grew during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars in which Britain and France fought. Neutral shipping was interfered with by laws passed by both of these countries which affected the American colonies. The American government leaders felt that American honour could be saved and British policies changed by an invasion of Canada. The United States declared war on Canada on June 18, 1812. Laura Secord travelled a long ways on a hot June day to warn the British of a planned American attack. This trek was kept fairly quiet for years for the safety of Laura and her family. . Laura cold not take a direct route as there were American soldiers in the area. In the woods there was some respite from the heat, but the mosquitoes were swarming around her. As she neared the British, she stumbled upon a native encampment and had to convince them that she had an important message for the British. She was exhausted by this time but would not rest until she had delivered her message. The natives escorted Laura to the British and she warned them of the planned attack. The British and the natives prepared for the American attack and were able to rout the Americans and take a large number captive. The lives of the O'Donnells, Parkers, Cripps, and Secords are followed through to the Confederation of Canada, to the building of canals, and the building of the railway to connect Canada from shore to shore and add British Columbia as another province in the country of Canada. The book concludes with the impact left behind by Laura Secord and the great service she provided for the Canadian people.

Book Synopsis Gardens, Covenants, Exiles by : Dennis Duffy
Download or read book Gardens, Covenants, Exiles written by Dennis Duffy and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1982-12-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scraps, tags, figments of the United Empire Loyalist heritage dot the Ontario landscape. Something of Loyalism lies in the very Ontario air and pervades the imagination of its people. In Gardens, Covenants, Exiles, Dennis Duffy sets out to describe and analyse the effects of Loyalism on the literary culture of Ontario. He explores the enduring nature of an attitude of mind whose historical origins lie in the Loyalist settlements in the forests of Upper Canada. No single source can explain a culture's characteristic way of viewing moral, social, and literary matters. This study, however, reveals how one historical event and the mythology it engendered have helped to shape a province and its literature. The collective experience of the Loyalists underlies Ontario's view of the Canadian destiny. Their defeat, exile, endurance, and their final mastery of a new land confirmed their belief that their own destiny lay within a larger imperial framework. But they lived at the same time as both North Americans and monarchists, victims and founders, heroes and the dispossessed. Writers in this culture, faced with the declining importance of the British connection and the rising of American presence, were ill-prepared by their political and imaginative lives to comprehend the vision of an independent nation. In our own time this has led to a renewed sense of fall, to a disillusionment that contrasts sharply with the feeling of 'paradise regained; that pervaded an earlier era. The book is a study of dislocation, seen through vignettes of various authors and their writings: William Kirby's The Golden Dog, Major Richardson's Wacousta, Charles Mair's Tecumseh, and the Jalna series by Mazode la Roche. Contemporary analogues of the Loyalist habit of mind are pursued in the works of George Grant, Dennis Lee, Al Purdy, and Scott Symons: the journey returns to its Loyalist starting point, in pain, loss, and the sense of a vanished home. Loyalism, both as fact and as myth, is one of the cultural forces that has given Ontario its sense of place. Professor Duffy concludes that in some way the culture of Upper Canada/Ontario remains continuous, that it has kept faith with its origins. His study heightens our understanding of a nation's roots.

Book Synopsis Elections in Oxford County, 1837-1875 by : George Emery
Download or read book Elections in Oxford County, 1837-1875 written by George Emery and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012-05-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elections in Oxford County, 1837-75 is a unique exploration of the forms, practices, and issues of democracy in a mid-nineteenth-century colonial setting. In this case study of thirty-eight elections in Oxford County — first as part of the United Province of Canada, then in early Ontario — George Emery delves into the advances, setbacks, and flaws of a partially democratic system. Emery demonstrates that while its forms and issues evolved, the net amount of democracy remained stable over time. Elections in Oxford County, 1837-75 breaks new ground with its detailed treatment of the county's voice-vote method of election, which ended with the adoption of the secret ballot in 1874. Employing an idealized parliamentary democracy as an explanatory model, Emery captures both geographically specific details and general features of this era's electoral process to enrich current understandings of nineteenth-century Canadian democracy.
