- Lunenburgh District, renamed "Eastern" in 1792
- Mecklenburg District, later "Midland"
- Nassau District, later "Home"

War of 1812 (1812–1815)
During the War of 1812 with the United States, Upper Canada was the chief target of the Americans, since it was weakly defended and populated largely by American immigrants. The War of 1812 was fought between the United States of America and the British Empire, particularly Great Britain and her North American colonies However, division in the United States over the war, a lacklustre American militia, the incompetence of American military commanders, and swift and decisive action by the British commander, Sir Isaac Brock, kept Upper Canada part of British North America.

Dissidents and 1837 Rebellion
After 1800 there emerged a dissident faction that questioned the direction and handling of the colony by the Tories, including both colonial and imperial officials. The Upper Canada Rebellion was along with the Lower Canada Rebellion in Lower Canada, a rebellion against the British colonial government in 1837 and 1838 The leaders were Robert Thorpe, Joseph Willcocks, Robert Gourlay, and especially, William Lyon Mackenzie. Robert Thorpe ( c 1764 &ndash May 11 1836) was a judge and political figure in Upper Canada. Joseph Willcocks (1773 &ndash September 4 1814) was a publisher traitor and political figure in Upper Canada. Robert Gourlay ( March 24, 1778 &ndash August 1, 1863) was a writer moderate reformer and agriculturalist William Lyon Mackenzie ( March 12, 1795 &ndash August 28, 1861) was a Canadian Journalist, Politician, and They challenged the establishment about taxes, land policy, the privileges of the Anglican Church and the Family Compact, appropriations, and freedom of the press. They claimed that all citizens and not just the enfranchised were entitled to a voice, but they did not form a political party; there were no parties. In 1831 the Tories expelled MacKenzie from the Assembly, and the conflict escalated. Their brief armed rebellion in 1837 failed. The Upper Canada Rebellion was along with the Lower Canada Rebellion in Lower Canada, a rebellion against the British colonial government in 1837 and 1838 Officials blamed American influence, "In this country unfortunately the settlement of American citizens has been too much permitted and encouraged, and thus in the bosom of this community there exists a treacherous foe. . . in many parts of the Province the teachers are Americans. . . . These men are utterly ignorant of everything English and could not if they tried instruct their pupils in any of the duties which the connection of the Province with England casts upon them. " [Rea] The oligarchic Family Compact was defended by Tories who explained, "The Radicals, Revolutionists or Destructives was composed of all the American settlers and speculators in land, some of the more simple and ignorant of the older class of farmers, and the rabble of adventurers who poured in every year from the United States or from Britain, to evade the laws of their respective countries. This article is about a group in nineteenth century Canadian history " [Rea] Lord Durham's support for "responsible government" undercut the Tories and gradually led the public to reject what it viewed as poor administration, unfair land and education policies, and inadequate attention to urgent transportation needs. Finally there emerged responsible government under Robert Baldwin and Louis LaFontaine by the late 1840s. Robert Baldwin (May 12 1804 – December 9 1858 was born at York (now Toronto) Sir Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine (or La Fontaine), 1st Baronet ( October 4 1807 – February 26 1864 Montreal)

The Detroit River is a river in the Great Lakes system about 32 miles (51 km long and 0 Saint Lawrence River (in French: fleuve Saint-Laurent; Kahnawáˀkye in Tuscarora, Kaniatarowanenneh meaning big waterway However, impetus to land settlement came with the influx of Loyalist refugees and military personnel in 1784 after the American Revolution. This article concerns Loyalists in the American Revolution. For information on the role of those Loyalists in Canadian history after their emigration see United Empire In this article the inhabitants of the thirteen colonies that supported the American Revolution are primarily referred to as "Americans" with occasional references to "Patriots" As a result, prior to the creation of Upper Canada in 1791 as a separate colony, much land had been ceded by the First Nations to the Crown in accordance with the Royal Proclamation of 1763. The Proclamation of 1763 was issued October 7, 1763 by King George III following Great Britain 's acquisition of French territory This land was surveyed by the government of the Province of Quebec, particularly in eastern Ontario along the Saint Lawrence River, as the Western Townships, while the Eastern Townships were in Lower Canada. The Province of Quebec was a colony in North America created by Great Britain after the Seven Years' War.

Organized settlement tracts were laid out with portions set aside for the clergy reserves, one exception was the Talbot Settlement on the north shore of Lake Erie which was set up in 1804. Clergy Reserves were tracts of land in Upper Canada reserved for the support of " Protestant Clergy " by the Constitutional Act of 1791 Colonel Thomas Talbot ( July 19 1771 &ndash February 5 1853) was born at Malahide Castle in Ireland.

Buchanan.

British regiment soldiers who were veterans of the war were offered free land, some remained despite the harsh winters. Unlike the period prior to the war, immigration was now directed at Europe and more specifically to the United Kingdom and Ireland, not from the US, which was the largest source of immigration before the war.
