| | Upper Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Upper Canada became a political entity in 1791 with the passage, in 1790, of the Constitutional Act by the Parliament of Great Britain. | | | This was principally in response to the Upper and Lower Canada rebellions of 1837 and 1837-38, respectively. | | | The division was effected so that Loyalist American settlers and British immigrants in Upper Canada could have British laws and institutions, and the French-speaking population of Lower Canada could maintain French civil law and the Catholic religion. |
