Abstract

As one of the Northern American Colonies in history, lower Canada was the colony where most French Canadians majorly lived in. The social system of this colony was constructed by replicating British society which meanwhile laid an underlaying political crisis. When the 1837-8 rebellion emerged in both upper and lower Canada provinces, the crisis, which was especially severe in lower Canada, finally leaded to a political reformation. As a direct result of the reformation, combination of the two colonies and the building of a united responsible government were made.
