      Hello Zebrejaune,

      Thank you very much for your question!

      Several causes can explain the rebellions of the Patriots in 1837-1838. We can think of these:

      • The debate between the Patriot Party and the British Party on the financing of the canals, tariffs and subsidies
      • The riot in Montreal and the wave of British immigrants
      • The agricultural crisis and overpopulation in the seigneuries (famines)
      • The Russell Resolutions
      • The manifestation of the discontent of the Patriot Party in the popular assemblies

      Let us know if we can help you with anything else!

      -Marilee
