A history of Canada, 1763-1812

"A History of Canada, 1763-1812" by Sir Charles Prestwood Lucas is a detailed exploration into a transformative period of Canadian history. From the ashes of the Seven Years' War to the looming War of 1812, this book navigates the evolving landscape of a nation in progress. Readers will witness the redrawing of territories following the Peace of Paris, the establishment of British rule in Quebec, and the tensions sparked by King George III's Proclamation of 1763. The narrative also sheds light on the resistance of Indigenous tribes, particularly Pontiac’s War. Their story is a reminder of the human cost of colonial ambition and the struggle for self-determination of the First Peoples of Canada.
