What happened after the rebellions of 1837?
Lord Durham was by sent by Britain to investigate why the Canadians were feeling so rebellious. In his report, he blamed the French-Canadian people and culture. Because of him, Upper Canada and Lower Canada were merged into the the Province of Canada so that the French would be a minority. Furthermore, more English immigration was encouraged to Canada to turn in into an all-Anglo colony (this obviously failed). The new Province had equal numbers of MPs from Canada West (Ontario) and Canada East (Quebec) and a co-Prime Minister from each. Lord Durham also recommended that the Province of Canada get an elected responsible government, but that was not done until several years later. The union was not a wholy happy one; the two halves of Canada had frequent political conflicts with each other. In 1867, the union was expanded to include the maritime colonies, becoming the modern Dominion of Canada, so that French-Canada would become one province in a confederation of equals.
