British perspective on Mackenzie: I think they would have hated him. They most likly think he deserved to be sent away. The British probably hated that he organized attacks on Upper Canada while he was still in America.

When did the majority of the key events happen for Lower and Upper Canada? What do you belive are the reasons for a majority of the events having these dates so close together?

Were these reformers successful in their attempt to make changes in the colonies of Upper and Lower Canada?
I think they were succesful in what they were trying to accomplish. They all wanted where the people get to vote for their leaders. If you look at it today that is how it works. They all got what they want and it played out the way they wanted it to. Thats good for them and they accompplished their goals.
