I don't know. This is the answer I was looking for, and that I've been looking for 1 hour now. Without the answer, I can't finish my history project, because we can't start unless we prove what we know.

Albert Einstein once said, "The formulation of a problem is often more essential than its solution." He is quoted as having said that if he had one hour to save the world he would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem and only five minutes finding the solution. In other words, you have to figure out exactly what the problem is before you can begin to solve it.
Your question asks about a "rebellion of 1837 between upper and lower Canada" and whether it is still affecting us. There was no rebellion "between" Upper Canada and Lower Canada. There was a rebellion in Upper Canada. There was a much more serious rebellion in Lower Canada. They happened around the same period of time. But it was not Upper Canada versus Lower Canada.
You can search for an answer to your question until the cows come home, but you will not find one. You haven't asked the right question.
the long term causes of the rebellions are because upper Canada and lower Canada were fighting and the rebellions was with upper and lower Canada and because they were very rude and mean people so they fought over dumb things like land or trade.
Upper and Lower Canada were having disputes, and that caused rebellions. Lord Durham was sent to find the reasons for these rebellions and Upper and Lower Canada. He came up with 2 main solutions:Appoint responsible government to the colonies to ensure equality.Combine Upper and Lower Canada to form one major Colony.And so the Act of Union was written.
The rebellions of 1837-1838 in Upper and Lower Canada highlighted deep-seated political and social grievances, leading to significant reforms in governance. In their aftermath, the British government established the Durham Report, which recommended the unification of the two provinces and the introduction of responsible government. This ultimately paved the way for the Confederation of Canada in 1867, fostering a more democratic political system and addressing issues of representation. The rebellions thus played a crucial role in shaping Canada's political landscape and promoting national unity.
The 1837 Rebellions in Canada, occurring in Upper and Lower Canada (now Ontario and Quebec), were significant as they highlighted widespread discontent with British colonial rule and the political and economic inequalities faced by the colonies. The uprisings, led by figures like William Lyon Mackenzie and Louis-Joseph Papineau, ultimately prompted discussions about reform and self-governance. Although the rebellions were suppressed, they laid the groundwork for the eventual Confederation of Canada in 1867 and the establishment of responsible government, shaping the future of Canadian democracy.
He wrote his report because he was sent to British North America to investigate the circumstances which led to the 1937 rebellions of Upper and Lower Canada. After he investigated and found out he wrote it in the report to tell Britain what he had found.
the rebellions happened because of the rebellions in lower Canada and they wanted a change in their government as well

By 1837 Canada the colony had been broken off into two separate entities called Upper and Lower Canada. Violent rebellions were breaking out in both Upper and Lower Canada. Today, Canada describes a Confederation of many colonies and Nations, Open violent rebellions are limited to small easily contained protests, usually by Aboriginal groups. Canada has gone from referring to a few tens of thousands colonists clinging to a river to one of the worlds largest and most prosperous Confederations.

In 1837, Canada experienced rebellions against British colonial rule, specifically in the provinces of Upper Canada (now Ontario) and Lower Canada (now Quebec). The discontent stemmed from issues such as political corruption and lack of representation. The rebels sought greater self-governance and reform, leading to the Upper Canada Rebellion and the Lower Canada Rebellion. Although both uprisings were ultimately unsuccessful, they highlighted the desire for change and contributed to Canada’s eventual path toward responsible government.
The Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837 was led by William Lyon Mackenzie and aimed to establish responsible government and end the oligarchic rule. In Lower Canada, the rebellion of 1837 led by Louis-Joseph Papineau was fueled by grievances over political representation and land rights for French Canadians. Both rebellions sought greater autonomy from British colonial rule.
He wrote his report because he was sent to British North America to investigate the circumstances which led to the 1937 rebellions of Upper and Lower Canada. After he investigated and found out he wrote it in the report to tell Britain what he had found.
William Lyon Mackenzie led the rebellions of 1837 It was more Papineau who led the rebellion in Lower Canada, however he fled the scene pretty early and allowed French-nationalism to take control and the "Patriotes" to take hold of the movement. MacKenzie was the Upper half of the movement but he was the only one that stuck around for the entire thing. :)
Papineau and William Lyon Mackenzie were the radical leaders of the 1837 rebellions in Lower Canada and Upper Canada respectively. They tried to overthrow the English Aristocracy in the form of the Chateau Clique and the Family Compact, upper class government who ruled absolutely.
Lower Canada ended in 1841.
