  • Following the rejection of the 92 Resolutions by the British authorities, the elected representatives of Lower-Canada declared the province to be an independent republic. Following three years of conflicts, the provinces of Lower and Upper Canada briefly formed a loosely united republic before the later province chose annexation to the USA. Lower Canada preferred to remain independent and formed the Republic of Laurentia. The Canadian uprising is remembered in song and stories as a fight between the republican "Blue" and the monarchist "Black" (both name being based on the colour of, repectively, the woolen bonnet and the leather shako worn by most on each side).
