Unknown Canada: Rebels, Rioters, Strikers

The image many Canadians have of their history is one of compromise, complacency, and of giving in to authority. In actual fact, Canadian history is filled with mass protests, many of them quite violent. This course looks at many of the protests which contained mass violence in the 1812-1950 period. The focus of the course is on why these protests occurred, who protested and who opposed the protests, and what the protests achieved.
