Les Patriotes

The name given after 1826 to the Parti Canadien and to the popular movement that contributed to the REBELLIONS OF 1837-38 in Lower Canada. The primary francophone party, led mainly by members of the liberal professions and small-scale merchants, was widely supported by farmers, day-labourers and craftsman. Its more distinguished leaders included Louis-Joseph PAPINEAU, Jean-Oliver Chenier and Wolfred Nelson. The torching of Patriotes’ homes, imprisonments, exiles, trials and hangings followed the Rebellions of 1837-38. The failure of the rebellions led to the disappearance of the Parti patriote. Some former leaders, however, returned to active politics in the united PROVINCE OF CANADA.

lyrics

Les Patriotes - paroles et musique par G.S. MacLeod

Cent quarante prisonniers
Sont déportés
1839
Les Patriotes en exile

C’est un temp de colère
Sur un bateau de prisonniers

Je pense à mes camarades morts
Par les fusils anglais

Et nous sommes deux peuples
Sans pays
Et si tu vois mon pays
Mon pays malheureux

Cent quarante prisonniers
Sont déportés
1839
Les Patriotes en exile

Et nous sommes deux peuples
Sans pays
Et si tu vois mon pays
Mon pays malheureux X3
