"Canada under British Rule 1760-1900" by John George Bourinot is a historical account written in the late 19th century that outlines the evolution of Canada's political, social, and economic landscape following British conquest from 1760 until the dawn of the 20th century. The book provides insights into how the various provinces adapted under British governance, highlighting key legislative milestones such as the Quebec Act and the series of changes that enabled a transition towards greater autonomy and federalism. The opening of the text sets the stage for understanding the foundations upon which British rule was established in Canada, beginning with a review of the French regime. Bourinot discusses the disintegration of French control and the subsequent British military governance in the years following the conquest. He emphasizes the significance of certain events, such as the Quebec Act which granted considerable rights to the French Canadian populace, and the influx of United Empire Loyalists that bolstered British loyalties in the colonies. The narrative illustrates the contrasts and connections between the French and British administrative frameworks, exploring how these historical dynamics have shaped Canada's national identity as it evolved into a dominion with a distinct separation from its colonial roots.
