North America 152 years ago today: Canadian Confederation (01 Jul 1867) https://buff.ly/2XfwAEy US expansionism, its purchase of Alaska and its alleged support of Irish Republican Fenian raiders encouraged the British to listen to demands for self-government and unification from its remaining North American colonies. In 1867, they assented to the formation of the Dominion of Canada by uniting the British colonies of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. #northamerica #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1860s #19thcentury #victorianera #victorian #1867 #alaskapurchase #americanhistory #canada #canadianhistory #july #july1 #newbrunswick #novascotia #uppercanada #lowercanada #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzXhghUA9tj/?igshid=12z75g23klkev

North America 181 years ago today: Canadian Rebellions (05 Dec 1837) https://buff.ly/2BQhTvd In the north, the British colonies of Upper and Lower Canada were growing in population but still found themselves dominated by local trading oligarchies. Increasing dissatisfaction led to calls for government reform and rebellions in 1837. Although the first revolts were quickly suppressed, many rebels fled to the US border and continued the fight from there. #northamerica #history #welovemaps #map #1830s #1837 #americanindianwars #americanhistory #colonialism #canada #canadianhistory #comanche #december #december5 #mexicanhistory #uppercanada #lowercanada #ontario #quebec #republicoftexas #ushistory #britishempire #canadianrebellion #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historygeek #historybuff #historynerd (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_7pYrA8UD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q4uw7i6m5lwm

FIRE! In acknowledgement of #SimcoeDay, members of the 8th and 41st Regiments based out of Fort York and Fort George fire during the tactics demonstration. Fort York celebrates Lieutenant-governor Simcoe, who founded the town of York (Toronto) in 1793 and was the first lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada (Ontario). The event included musket fire, cannon fire, and tours of the barracks at Fort York in Toronto. #UpperCanada #Toronto #York #ForkYork #history | 📸 Steve Russell / Toronto Star (at Fort York National Historic Site)
