This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few Canadians and Americans, let alone Australians, would realize that Canadians and Americans were among those transported as convicts to Australia.Their collective name was known as the 'Canadian Patriots', or 'Patriotes', and there might have been up to 200 of them. These were among the Canadian 'rebels' who fought against the British crown 1837-1838. The French from Lower Canada never did accept British rule, for after all it was a colony of France before the British defeated France on the Plains of Abraham at Quebec City. Then there were many well-meaning Americans who wanted to get rid of the British. The rebellions against the British were easily defeated, the Patriots lacking the discipline and organisation of the British troops. The Canadians were essentially made up of two groups:* First, there were the 'rebels' from Upper Canada, which is now the province of Ontario, and were mainly British Canadians and Americans who joined the rebellion. They were sent to Van Diemen's Land.* Second, there were the 'rebels' from Lower Canada, now the province of Quebec, and these were in the main French Canadians. They were disembarked for five days at Hobart Town and then sent on to Sydney.Within five years most had either won pardons or had escaped. Overall, they were more highly educated than the normal convict, and many wrote of their experiences.We are particularly knowledgeable about the Canadian convicts who were on the HMS Buffalo 1839-1840, though some came on other ships. On board the Buffalo were eighty-two American patriots who had crossed the border through sympathy with the anti-British rebellion, fifty-eight were French prisoners from Lower Canada, and five were civil prisoners.Three French and nine English Canadians and Americans wrote memoirs or narratives of their experiences in Australia. Selections from these narratives are presented to show how they were treated, most would say as slaves.

Download or read book Globalizing Confederation written by Jacqueline Krikorian and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalizing Confederation brings together original research from 17 scholars to provide an international perspective on Canada’s Confederation in 1867. In seeking to ascertain how others understood, constructed or considered the changes taking place in British North America, Globalizing Confederation unpacks a range of viewpoints, including those from foreign governments, British colonies, and Indigenous peoples. Exploring perspectives from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, France, Latin America, New Zealand, and the Vatican, among others, as well as considering the impact of Confederation on the rights of Indigenous peoples during this period, the contributors to this collection present how Canada’s Confederation captured the imaginations of people around the world in the 1860s. Globalizing Confederation reveals how some viewed the 1867 changes to Canada as part of a reorganization of the British Empire, while others contextualized it in the literature on colonization more broadly, while still others framed the event as part of a re-alignment or power shift among the Spanish, French and British empires. While many people showed interest in the Confederation debates, others, such as South Africa and the West Indies, expressed little interest in the establishment of Canada until it had profound effects on their corners of the global political landscape.

Download or read book Condemned written by Graham Seal and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful account of how coerced migration built the British Empire In the early seventeenth century, Britain took ruthless steps to deal with its unwanted citizens, forcibly removing men, women, and children from their homelands and sending them to far-flung corners of the empire to be sold off to colonial masters. This oppressive regime grew into a brutal system of human bondage which would continue into the twentieth century. Drawing on firsthand accounts, letters, and official documents, Graham Seal uncovers the traumatic struggles of those shipped around the empire. He shows how the earliest large-scale kidnapping and transportation of children to the American colonies were quickly bolstered with shipments of the poor, criminal, and rebellious to different continents, including Australia. From Asia to Africa, this global trade in forced labor allowed Britain to build its colonies while turning a considerable profit. Incisive and moving, this account brings to light the true extent of a cruel strand in the history of the British Empire.
