The document summarizes the Rebellions of 1837-38 that occurred in Lower Canada and Upper Canada. In Lower Canada, the French-speaking Canadien population rebelled against the authoritarian rule of the British government and the Château Clique. Key leaders included Louis Papineau and the Patriotes. In Upper Canada, William Lyon Mackenzie led a rebellion against the Family Compact, culminating in a failed attack on Toronto. Both rebellions were defeated by December 1837, but unrest continued in 1838 with guerrilla fighters active in both colonies.
