The
Lower Canada Rebellion (
French:
La rébellion du Bas-Canada), commonly referred to as the
Patriots' War (French:
la Guerre des patriotes) by Quebecers, is the name given to the armed conflict in 1837-38 between the rebels of
Lower Canada (now
Quebec) and the
British colonial power of that province. Together with the simultaneous
Upper Canada Rebellion in the neighbouring colony of
Upper Canada (now
Ontario), it formed the
Rebellions of 1837. The rebellion of Lower Canada continued in 1838 and in Quebec is often called
Les rébellions de 1837–38.
