Editors Maxime Dagenais and Julien Mauduit will launch Revolutions across Borders: Jacksonian America and the Canadian Rebellion at Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore.
In this groundbreaking study, contributors analyze the extent of the Canadian Rebellion beyond British North America and the turbulent Jacksonian period's influence on rebel leaders and the course of the rebellion. Exploring the rebellion's social and economic dimensions, its impact on American politics, policy-making, and the philosophy of manifest destiny, and the significant changes south of the border that influenced this Canadian uprising, the essays in this volume show just how malleable borderland relations were. Chapters investigate how Americans frustrated with the young republic considered an “alternative republic” in Canada, the new monetary system that the rebels planned to establish, how the rebellion played a major role in Martin Van Buren's defeat in the 1840 presidential election, and how America's changing economic alliances doomed the Canadian Rebellion before it even started.
Maxime Dagenais is research coordinator of the Wilson Institute for Canadian History at McMaster University. Julien Mauduit is L.R. Wilson Assistant Professor at McMaster University.
