Everything about Patriotes totally explained
The
Patriote movement was a
political movement that existed in
Lower Canada (present-day
Quebec) from the turning of the
19th century to the
Patriote Rebellion of 1837 and 1838 and the subsequent
Act of Union of 1840. It was politically embodied by the
Parti patriote at the
Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada. It was inspired by the
American Revolution, the
decolonization of the Americas, as well as the political philosophy of
classical liberalism. Among its leading figures were
François Blanchet,
Pierre-Stanislas Bédard,
John Neilson,
Jean-Thomas Taschereau,
James Stuart,
Louis Bourdages,
Denis-Benjamin Viger,
Daniel Tracey,
Edmund Bailey O'Callaghan,
Andrew Stuart,
Wolfred Nelson,
Robert Nelson,
Thomas Storrow Brown,
François Jalbert and
Louis-Joseph Papineau. Its ideals were conveyed through the newspapers the
Montreal Vindicator,
Le Canadien, and
La Minerve.
The movement demanded democratic reforms, notably
responsible government for Lower Canada, and presented the
Ninety-Two Resolutions to
Great Britain to obtain them. Those were in great part denied by the
Russell Resolutions, which resulted in a radicalization of the Patriotes and their moving closer to demands of outright
independence and a Lower Canada
republic. Many of its followers ended up taking part in an armed insurrection known as the
Lower Canada Rebellion which was put down by the British army and its volunteer
militia.
