Is there any chance that a British government attempting to intervene in the US Civil war would cause deep dissension in Canada?
The only chance "canada" had at a successful rebellion would have been with the ARW. no way and not enough people and no way after 1800 -1900 the british empire was gonna make the same mistake twice in North America.
It just would have been curb stomp after curb stomp... i mean come on .. the total population of Canada at the time was like what? 70k including the dogs, cats and the horses for the mounties?
Canada is vast nothingness.. kinda like Russia with out the drama..![]()
Seriously if you're going to comment on the implausibility of an uprising happening, maybe you should check the history of the region: uprisings happened.
I never said uprising didn't happen.. I was commenting on the idea of them being successful.. Actually 1837 was successful on the basis that it did create reforms and set the stage for the Constitution acts of 1867.
and my population figures were for 1800 .. not 1863... by which time Canada was well on its way to Nationhood. Red River and all.. and most of the population was and remains along the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence sea way to he Ocean.. notable exceptions being Provincial Capitals and Ottawa.
Every nation has its crisis moments..
