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.

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.
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.
Before 1867, Canada was divided into upper and lower Canada. In lower Canada most of the people were French. In upper Canada most of the people were British. But on July first, 1867 upper and lower Canada joined confederation to become Canada, This is why we celebrate Canada day on July first :)
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.

Lower Canada ended in 1841.
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. :)

Lord Durham was sent to British North America in 1838 as governor-general specifically to investigate the circumstances of the rebellions of 1837 in Upper and Lower Canada and to make recommendations for the future government of the British North American colonies. His investigation led to the publication, in 1839, of the famous Durham Report in which he recommended that Upper and Lower Canada be united, that responsible government be granted (see text below), that French Canadians be assimilated and that municipal institutions be established in Canada.
Lower Canada College was created in 1861.
