He shows us how ever-larger amounts of capital yielded increasingly massive and sophisticated applications of hydroelectric technology. Grand industrial plans, in turn, encroached upon provincial water rights and farmers' lands, which drew the attention of the state. He examines...

Popular Politics and Political Culture in Upper Canada, 1800-1850
ISBN: 9780773520530 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Petitioning movements, which were connected not only with public meetings but with demonstrations and parades, were also increasingly associated with political violence. The resulting assaults, riots, and effigy-burnings - prominent features of Tory governance - not only contributed to the striking political polarization of the population but also helped provoke the Rebellion of 1837. Wilton provides new insights into the...
