Canada and Her Relations to the Empire (Classic Reprint) by George T. Denison PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Canada and Her Relations to the Empire The British Empire has grown with great rapidity, and the relations between the Mother Country and the Colonies have been constantly changing. Canada is one of the oldest Colonies, and yet her history can only be said to fairly commence with the migration of the United Empire Loyalists at the close of the American Revolution in 1788. A little over one hundred years have elapsed, and how many changes have occurred! In 1784, the loyal exiles, who had lost everything by standing true to the Motherland, were practically wards of the State. Tools and other necessaries had to be provided by the Imperial Government, and for a time the population was necessarily fed, or partly fed, by rations distributed by Imperial officers. The Provision Lists of this date arc a most pathetic feature of our records, containing, as they do, the names of the very best and wealthiest classes of the old colonies-educated, refined, and law-abiding citizens, who had lost the savings of generations through their loyalty to the Empire. After this period came the establishment of Upper Canada as a Province under the Act of 175)1. This Act gave the people certain self-governing powers, hut provided for an irresponsible executive. With the growth of population and means came the desire for responsible government, and for the fuller control of local affairs. This came in 1840 with the Union of Upper and Lower Canada. In 1867, the Confederation of the l ominion was accomplished, and almost imperceptibly with the increased territory, population, and strength, Canada has acquired far greater powers.
