Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Canada, Vol. 8: 1808-1815 This volume contains the narrative of the war of 1812, to the ratification, at Washington, of the Treaty of Ghent, on the i8th of February, 1815. Although the events of the years antecedent to the war cannot be recognized as having been its immediate cause, I have deemed it essential, from their importance, to relate them at some length. As in the preceding volumes, I have given references to the authorities on which my statements are based. To admit of the verification of any disputed point. I have endeavoured in all cases to avoid controversy, and have confined myself to a narra tive of the incidents, as they are presented by contemporary documents.

Download or read book Rise to Greatness written by Conrad Black and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 1146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masterful, ambitious, and groundbreaking, this is a major new history of our country by one of our most respected thinkers and historians -- a book every Canadian should own. From the acclaimed biographer and historian Conrad Black comes the definitive history of Canada -- a revealing, groundbreaking account of the people and events that shaped a nation. Spanning 874 to 2014, and beginning from Canada's first inhabitants and the early explorers, this masterful history challenges our perception of our history and Canada's role in the world. From Champlain to Carleton, Baldwin and Lafontaine, to MacDonald, Laurier, and King, Canada's role in peace and war, to Quebec's quest for autonomy, Black takes on sweeping themes and vividly recounts the story of Canada's development from colony to dominion to country. Black persuasively reveals that while many would argue that Canada was perhaps never predestined for greatness, the opposite is in fact true: the emergence of a magnificent country, against all odds, was a remarkable achievement. Brilliantly conceived, this major new reexamination of our country's history is a riveting tour de force by one of the best writers writing today.
Download or read book A History of Law in Canada Volume One written by Philip Girard and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Law in Canada is an important three-volume project. Volume One begins at a time just prior to European contact and continues to the 1860s, Volume Two covers the half century after Confederation, and Volume Three covers the period from the beginning of the First World War to 1982, with a postscript taking the account to approximately 2000. The history of law includes substantive law, legal institutions, legal actors, and legal culture. The authors assume that since 1500 there have been three legal systems in Canada – the Indigenous, the French, and the English. At all times, these systems have co-existed and interacted, with the relative power and influence of each being more or less dominant in different periods. The history of law cannot be treated in isolation, and this book examines law as a dynamic process, shaped by and affecting other histories over the long term. The law guided and was guided by economic developments, was influenced and moulded by the nature and trajectory of political ideas and institutions, and variously exacerbated or mediated intercultural exchange and conflict. These themes are apparent in this examination, and through most areas of law including land settlement and tenure, and family, commercial, constitutional, and criminal law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada and Its Provinces, Vol. 8 of 22: A History of the Canadian People and Their Institutions; The Dominion; Political Evolution Dispute between the colonies and the mother country on the fisheries question first arose in the years immediately preceding the revolt Of the American colonies. The nations Of Europe had been struggling for upwards of a century for the possession of the fisheries in the northern parts of North America. France, as the principal settler there, had long claimed the exclusive right to them. Great Britain, moved in no small degree by the value Of these fisheries, had won Canada from France, and had limited by treaty, within a narrow compass, the right of France to any share in the fisheries. Spain, upon some claim Of prior discovery, had for some time enjoyed a share of the fishery on the Banks, but at the last treaty of peace, in 1763, had expressly renounced it. At the commencement Of the American Revolution, therefore, these fisheries belonged exclusively to the British nation. The colonists Of Massachusetts and other New England states, as British subjects, had continuously resorted to the fishing-grounds, which were an important source of living and revenue to them. Though the fisheries are relatively unimportant in modern times, they were of vital importance to New England in 1782. The reigning toast in Massachusetts was, May the United States ever maintain their rights to the fisheries The American colonists considered that these fisheries had been discovered, exploited and developed by them; that they had been won by their toil, by their blood, by their activity; and when peace began to be talked about in 1782 they contended that they had as good a right to maintain a claim to con tinne in the enjoyment of them as British subjects across the sea, and a better right than the new subjects in Canada. And SO the American peace negotiators, Franklin, Adams and Jay, were instructed by Congress that in no case, by any treaty of peace, the common right Of fishing be given up.'

Download or read book The Ermatingers written by W. Brian Stewart and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In about 1800, fur trader Charles Ermatinger married an Obijwa woman, Mananowe. Their three sons grew up with both their mother's hunter/warrior culture and their father's European culture. As adults, they lived adventurously in Montreal and St Thomas, where they were accepted and loved by fellow citizens while publicly retaining their Ojibwa heritage. The Ermatingers contrasts the "European" commercial and trading society in urban Montreal, where Charles was brought up, with the Ojibwa hunter/warrior values of Mananowe's society. Their sons variously risked life at war in Spain and in the Upper and Lower Canada rebellions, policed Montreal streets in an era of riots, spied on the Fenians on the US border, and made a hazardous journey to help establish the Canadian Pacific Railway's route. Brian Stewart argues that the sons' Ojibwa traditions and values shaped their adult lives: during their adventures, the sons fought for Native rights for themselves as well as for Ojibwa relatives and friends. The Ermatingers is an exciting story that contributes to our understanding of Indian and European biculturalism and its effects on those who make up the various forms of M�tis society today. It will appeal to general readers as well as scholars and students in Native studies and Canadian history.
