Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Why Is Canada Not a Part of the United States?: Read Before the U. S. Catholic Historical Society, Nov. 25th, 1889
Canada was writhing under the yoke, her people were too numerous to be torn from their homes by England and scattered far and wide like the unhappy Acadians of Nova Scotia: but if England made concessions, she was only biding her time, to crush them utterly.
Canada was ripe for revolt. The Continental Congress and its wise leaders counted surely on the adhesion of the Canadians in their struggle with England, at first simply a struggle for the right to govern and tax themselves, a right as essential to the prosperity of Canada as to that of any other colony.
