______________________________________________________________

Rebellion of 1837 - 1838. Between May 1837 and November 1838 two insurrections broke out in Lower Canada. These two uprisings, limited to the region of Montreal, failed lamentably, as did a plot formented in Quebec City in 1838. Despite their unquestionable efficancy, the interdicts issued by the clergy against the insurrectionists do not suffice to explain the failure. The causes of the setbacks may be found principally in the organization of the patriot movement. It was essentally a problem of leadership. The adulated head of the movement, Papineau, was a rousing orator but a pitiable man of action, always undicided and fearful. He fled on the eve of the battle of St. Denis (Nov. 23, 1837). With few exceptions the same weakness was found in most of the principal leaders of the insurrestions. Events took place as though the leaders beleived that the badly led peasants could do the whole job by themselves. The Quebec-Montreal rivalry also played a role in these somewhat onglorious performances.

Between the two insurrections a mission led by Lord Durham inquired into Lower Caniadian problems. Having left before the second uprising, he recommended to London the Assimilation of French Canadians by the union of te Canadas and recognition of the principle of ministerial responsibility. The first suggestion was accepted in 1840; the second was rejected.
