Atlantic History and the Study of Canada
The Canadian Civil Wars of 1837–1838
Canadian historians have traditionally stressed that the rebellions of 1837 and 1838 in Upper and Lower Canada were revolts against British imperial authority. Less stressed has been the fact that the rebellions were also civil wars and that British troops were aided by substantial numbers of loyalists in defeating the rebels. In recent years historians have tended to downplay the importance of French-Canadian nationalism, but by 1837–8 the rebel…
Canadian Constitution-Making in the British World
Adele Perry. Colonial Relations
Colonial Relations: The Douglas-Connolly Family and the Nineteenth-Century Imperial World tells the fascinating story of the Douglas-Connolly family over several generations. James Douglas was born in Demerara in 1803. His father was an itinerant Scotsman and his mother probably a free woman of color. Douglas accompanied his father to Scotland at around the age of eight or nine, was educated at Lanark Grammar School, and took up a position in 181…
Remembering 1759
Revisiting 1759
The British victory on the Plains of Abraham in September 1759 and the subsequent Conquest of Canada were undoubtedly significant geopolitical events, but their nature and implications continue to be debated. Revisiting 1759 provides a fresh historical reappraisal of the Conquest and its aftermath using new approaches drawn from military, imperial, social, and Aboriginal history.This cohesive collection investigates many of the most hotly contest…
Canada and the British Empire
This book provides an overview of Canada's history in the context of the British Empire. It traces the evolution of Canada as a country, placing it within the wider context of British imperial history — from the foundation of the first British bases in Canada in the early 17th century, up until the patriation of the Canadian constitution in 1982. The subject is approached thematically, including specialised topics such as British migration to Can…
Canada and the British World
In the decades following the Second World War, a revolutionary change took place in the Canadian national identity. The English-Canadian majority entered this period identifying themselves as British and emerged from it with a new, independent sense of themselves as purely Canadian. Assured of their unique place in the world, Canadians can now reflect on the legacies and lessons of their British colonial past. Canada and the British World surveys…
Canada and the End of Empire
Sir John Seeley once wrote that the British Empire was acquired in "a fit of absence of mind." Whatever the truth of this comment, it is certainly arguable that the Empire was dismantled in such a fit. This collection deals with a neglected subject in post-Confederation Canadian history -- the implications to Canada and Canadians of British decolonization and the end of empire. Canada and the End of Empire looks at Canadian diplomatic relations w…
Rediscovering the British World
The British Empire shaped the world we know today. Placing the colonies of settlement at the center of British Imperial History, this book rejects nostalgia to explore the complexities and lasting impacts of the British diaspora overseas. Rediscovering the British World is one part of an ongoing attempt to approach British Imperial history from a different viewpoint, placing the colonies of settlement at the centre. Editors Phillip Buckner and Do…

The Atlantic Region to Confederation
Nearly thirty years ago W.S. MacNutt published the first general history of the Atlantic provinces before Confederation. An outstanding scholarly achievement, that history inspired much of the enormous growth of research and writing on Atlantic Canada in the succeeding decades. Now a new effort is required, to convey the state of our knowledge in the 1990s. Many of the themes important to today's historians, notably those relating to social class…
CHR Dialogue
A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO Ernie Forbes in an important article challenged the stereotype of Maritime conservatism and attempted to show how it had distorted the way in which the history of the Maritimes has been portrayed in the post-Confederation period. • Yet it can be argued that this stereotype has also influenced our interpretation of the preConfederation era in a variety of ways. Nowhere is this more true than in studies of the role of the regi…
