The 'Patriotes' of '37 A Chronicle of the Lower Canada Rebellion By Alfred Duclos DeCelles CANADIANS, OLD AND NEW The conquest of Canada by British arms in the Seven Years' War gave rise to a situation in the colony which was fraught with tragic possibilities. It placed the French inhabitants under the sway of an alien race-a race of another language, of another religion, of other laws, and which differed from them profoundly in temperament and political outlook. Elsewhere-in Ireland, in Poland, and in the Balkans-such conquests have been followed by centuries of bitter racial warfare.
