By December 1837 and January 1838, rebels from Upper and Lower Canada had suffered heavy defeats at the hands of British and Loyalist forces. (See: Rebellion in Lower Canada; Rebellion in Upper Canada.) They fled to the United States to seek financial and military assistance. The American public was aware that there had been armed conflicts in the Canadas. Many were even initially supportive. However, the presence of Canadian rebels on American soil forced many to question American involvement. The growing tensions with Great Britain over the Caroline Affair complicated matters. The creation of the Republic of Texas and the fight over the abolition of slavery were also factors. In January 1838, US President Martin Van Buren took steps to ensure America’s neutrality in the Canadian rebellions.
By December 1837 and January 1838, members of the rebellions of 1837–38 had suffered defeats at the hands of British and Loyalist forces. Rebels and rebel leaders, such as William Lyon Mackenzie, Ludger Duvernay, Robert Nelson and Louis-Joseph Papineau, sought refuge in such states as New York and Vermont. Rebel leaders attempted to get assistance from Americans and worked tirelessly to promote their cause. They published newspapers, such as Duvernay’s Le Patriote Canadien and Mackenzie’s Gazette. They sent letters to local politicians and merchants. They travelled to Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington to try and gain financial and military support.

The rebellions coincided with a momentous period in American history. The United States was in the midst of the Jacksonian democracy. The Panic of 1837 and the broader economic shock that some historians have called the “Market Revolution” caused economic anxiety. Texas had seceded from Mexico in 1836. Its potential inclusion in the United States had divided the nation. The battles between slaveholders and abolitionists raged on.
In this context, the demands made by Canadian rebel leaders had significant consequences. Supporting the rebels could have a major impact on the United States’ relationship with Great Britain, its economy, and on the fight over slavery.
