Part 2
Storyboard Text
- On 16 November 1837, the government tried to prevent the rebellion by attempting to arrest the Patriote leaders. The leaders took refuge in the countryside. On 23 November, government forces under Colonel Charles Gore suffered a minor defeat in the first major engagement of the rebellion. (Battle of Saint Denis)
- They were crushed two days later by a force of normal Brits under Colonel Charles Wetherall.
- We need better organization and leadership if we want to win the next battle.
- Gore is retreating!
- On 30 November, Gore returned to St-Denis and the town surrendered. The soldiers left 50 homes on fire. On 14 December, the British commander-in-chief, Sir John Colborne, captured St-Eustache.
- Jean-Olivier Chenier, failed us our first rebellion has collapsed.
- British volunteers are burning settlements!!
- Several hundred rebels had been wounded or killed in the fighting. Many more were captured. Papineau and a number of the Patriote leaders fled to the United States. The constitution of the colony was suspended.
- I am Lord Durham your new Governor General and I recommend that "Upper and Lower Canada be united into one province, and the introduction of responsible government for all colonies in British North America."
- London failed to support his measures
- With help from Americans the rebels prepared for a second insurgency. It broke out after Lord Durham left. The rebels cut communications between Montreal and the south shore of the St. Lawrence.
- Were still poorly organized and supplied!
- I have bad news. We were defeated at Napierville and Odelltown. One group was captured at Caughnawaga by the Iroquois.
- The Patriotes defeated a small British force at Beauharnois on 9 November. Within a week, the second outbreak had been put down, almost entirely by local volunteers. They rampaged across the country, leaving a trail of devastation.
- There is rumours of uprising in the US.
- I heard Papineau even left the US.
- Between the two uprisings, 99 captured militants were condemned to death. Twelve went to the gallows, while 58 were sent to the penal colony of Australia. The six battles of both campaigns left 325 dead, 27 of them British soldiers and the rest rebels.
- The End
- This is what I heard.. Thirteen men were executed. One was murdered, one committed suicide, and two prisoners were shot.
