The Crisis in Canada: Or Vindication of Lord Elgin and His Cabinet as to the Course Pursued by Them in Reference to the Rebellion Losses Bill (1849) is a historical book written by Alexander Mackay. The book is a detailed account of the political crisis that occurred in Canada in 1849, specifically focusing on the Rebellion Losses Bill. The bill was controversial as it sought to compensate those who suffered losses during the rebellions of 1837-1838 in Lower Canada (now Quebec) and Upper Canada (now Ontario). In the book, Mackay argues that Lord Elgin, the Governor General of Canada at the time, and his cabinet were unfairly criticized for their handling of the bill. He provides a comprehensive analysis of the events leading up to the crisis and the debates that took place in the Canadian Parliament. The book also sheds light on the broader political and social context of Canada in the mid-19th century, including issues of nationalism, colonialism, and democracy.Overall, The Crisis in Canada is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Canadian history, politics, and society. It provides a nuanced and well-researched perspective on a pivotal moment in Canadian history and offers insights into the challenges faced by a young and evolving nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
