Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tercentenary History of Canada, Vol. 3: From Champlain to Laurier, 1608-1908
Space will not admit a recitation of the various proceedings of these envoys. In John Quincy Adams's diary we have some very interesting rec ords of this Yankee's dissatisfaction with his col leagues, particularly with Clay, whose fondness for gambling, card-playing. Drinking, and kindred ex cesses was not relished at all by the Great Man of Quincy, Massachusetts. It was most fitting, therefore. That John Randolph should afterward rise in the United States Senate and point out with his matchless satire the unholy coalition of the Puritan and the blackleg, by which for the first and only. Time in the history of the United States, in 1824, the House of Representatives elected a President, Adams being the man, and he selected Clay. One of his opponents in the Presidential contest, to be his Secretary of State.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the history of Canada between 1608 and 1841. Opening with Champlain's founding of Quebec, the author uses little-known stories of daring and bravery to bring to life the contest between France and England for control of North America, resulting in the 32-year-long French and Indian War. The author shows how the American Revolution and the War of 1812 shaped Canada and its relationship with the United States. It gives in-depth views of Sir John Franklin's ill-fated Arctic expedition, and the rebellions of 1837, known as the Papineau Rebellion. Through the text the author regularly debunks widely held historical myths while praising underappreciated figures. The book concludes by touching on Lord Durham's Report on Canada's grievances and the Act of Union that followed, changing the course of the nation's history. This book is an absorbing history of Canada, rich in drama, military conflict and political intrigue with a substantial reassessment of its pivotal moments.
