Download or read book Death Or Liberty written by Tony Moore and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2011-05-23 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death or Liberty reveals how the British Government of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries banished to the end of the earth Australia political enemies viewed by authorities with the same alarm as today s terrorists : Jacobins, democrats and republicans; machine breakers, food rioters, trade unionists, and Chartists; Irish, Scots, Canadian and even American rebels. While criminals in the eyes of the law, many of these prisoners were heroes and martyrs to their own communities, and are still revered in their homelands as freedom fighters and patriots, progressive thinkers, democrats and reformers. Yet in Australia, the land of their exile, memory of these rebels and their causes has dimmed. This is the first narrative history that brings together the stories of the political prisoners sent as convicts to Australia from all parts of the British Empire, spanning the early days of the penal settlement at Sydney Cove until transportation ended in 1868. Author Tony Moore asks who were these prisoners, and what led them to take the radical actions they did? Why did the authorities so fear these dissenters and rebels, and was transportation effective in halting dissent? What became of the political convicts in Australia and who escaped or returned home?

This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 611 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 To the Outskirts of Habitable Creation written by Stuart D. Scott and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of American historys lost stories, To the Outskirts of Habitable Creation is the fascinating account of American and Canadian convicts exiled to an Australian penal colony. In 1837 an armed rebellion at Toronto against the colonial administration of British Canada spilled across the border, and U.S. citizens joined the cause. The so-called Patriot War kept the frontier in a climate of fear and uncertainty as a series of battles in Canadian territory continued throughout 1838 in the hope of instigating political change. With the failure of each attempt to cross into Canada and revive the Rebellion, combatants were taken into custody. Trials resulted in hangings, acquittals, or pardons. One group of ninety-two prisoners, however, was sentenced to penal transportation for life in Australias far distant island of Van Diemens Land (Tasmania). Drawing on a wide variety of letters, diaries, and personal reminiscences, the author tells the story through the experiences of men and women who lived it. To the Outskirts... is more than the story of the Rebellion of 1837. It is also the story of one womans tenacious audacity that saved some of the men facing the gallows for their actions in the conflict.

This book was released on 2004-01-21 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sweeping study surveys nearly a century of diverse American views on the relationship between the United States and the Canadian provinces, filling out a neglected chapter in the history of aggressive U.S. expansionism. Until the mid-nineteenth century, many believed that Canada would ultimately join the United States. Stuart provides an insightful view of the borderland, the Canadian-American frontier where the demographics, commerce, and culture of the two countries blend. Originally published in 1988.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lavishly illustrated new book, the author of Early Life in Upper Canada and other famous histories of pioneer days, relates the story of the Canadian farm and farmer from the primitive to the machine age. Farm life and farm processes are pictured in fascinating detail, and Mr. Guillet quotes generously from books, newspapers, letters and hitherto unpublished archives material, using the words of those who actually witnessed the life of other days–the pioneers themselves, or the more observant of the numerous travellers who visited Canada during the period. The 450 illustrations contained in the two volumes of this work include many never before reproduced. A detailed list of contents and a full index enable the reader to find readily any topic of pioneer life to which he wishes to refer.
