The Crisis in Canada is a historical book written by Alexander Mackay in 1849. The book provides a detailed account of the political crisis that occurred in Canada during the mid-19th century. It focuses on the controversy surrounding the Rebellion Losses Bill, which was passed by the Canadian Parliament in 1849. The bill aimed to compensate individuals who suffered losses during the rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada in 1837-38. The book presents a defense of Lord Elgin and his cabinet, who were heavily criticized for supporting the bill. Mackay argues that the bill was necessary to promote reconciliation and unity in Canada, and that Lord Elgin and his cabinet acted in the best interests of the country. He also provides a detailed analysis of the political climate in Canada at the time, including the tensions between English and French Canadians, and the influence of the British government on Canadian politics. Overall, The Crisis in Canada is an important historical document that sheds light on a pivotal moment in Canadian history. It provides a detailed account of the political, social, and cultural factors that contributed to the crisis, and offers a nuanced perspective on the actions of Lord Elgin and his cabinet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
