This article surveys the history of the American social and political reaction to the events surrounding the Upper Canadian Rebellion. It focuses on the efforts of Michiganders and members of secret societies who supported the rebellion and Patriot War and on their experiences of engaging in revolutionary activities. By engaging with an enemy abroad, whether real, or imagined, these Americans sought a panacea to ease their generational and nationalistic angst. In return, they believed that liberating Canadians from British tyranny would cement their legacies in American history. This heroism, coupled with the formation of a secret society, the Hunters’ Lodges, temporarily distracted these Americans as well as some government officials from economic hardship, domestic and political turmoil, and perhaps most importantly, a rapidly changing world.

Two genealogists, Cozy Palmer in Dallas, Texas and Mike Kehoe in Richmond, Utah, unbeknownst to each other, were simultaneously researching the family of John Berry who fought and was captured at the Battle of the Windmill in 1838 and were not making much progress. Together, their research has led to a better understanding of the life of John Berry prior to his involvement in the Patriot War and to the discovery of the life that John Berry could have had if it were not for his involvement in the conflict.

James Milne Aitchison was a privileged child in rural Scotland, a troubled young man in Edinburgh, a failed immigrant in Upper Canada, a Patriot raider at the Battle of Windsor in December 1838, a Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania) convict, and a colonist in what is now Victoria State, Australia. This article explores Aitchison’s many ‘lives’, drawing on fifty years of the author’s research-findings including material from the recent rescue of a cache of Aitchison documents from an abandoned house in Scotland.

Scholars have discussed the role of romanticism in the condescending attitudes of Upper Canadian conservatives toward Indigenous peoples but they have yet to examine its role in the political culture of settler society; specifically, as it applies to the political ideology of Tories, the group that prevailed in bustling towns and embryonic outposts alike. Weaving together intellectual history, the history of emotions, and environmental history, this article explores the romantic tradition’s salience within the mentalité of Upper Canadian conservatism. It contends that influential figures from the worlds of politics and literature repeatedly invoked aspects of romanticism over several decades in denouncing subversive phenomena and in seeking to legitimize their vision of a hierarchical society. In particular, they drew on such compelling romantic tropes as powerful emotions and the magnificence of nature in the hope of bolstering a social order predicated on elite hegemony and rank-and-file deference. This helps to shed light on one of the animating factors within the Tory tradition, a multifaceted force that, for good or ill, has played an important role in shaping Ontario’s history.
