# 432 - Some Canadian History - Part 11

The information below comes from the site of the Canadian Historical Association:
https://cha-shc.ca/english/what-we-do/what-we-do.html

"Founded in 1922, the Canadian Historical Association / La Société Historique du Canada is a bilingual not-for-profit and charitable association devoted to fostering the scholarly study and communication of History in Canada.

The CHA pursues a number of academic and professional activities for the benefit of its members; it sponsors a vast array of publications and represents the interests of historians and the heritage community by actively lobbying archives, museums, governments and granting agencies on issues relating to copyright, access to information, academic freedom and public access to historical documents."

A few years ago it issued a series of silver medallions related to the Canadian History.

They weight around 11.6g (0.37oz), have a 92.5% silver purity and Proof finish.

I could not find how many different medallions were issued, but I have 20 of them and they will be shown chronologically.

The eleventh is the 1837 - Rebellion of 1837: Lower Canada

French Canadians in Lower Canada took up arms against the British Crown in a rebellion in 1837 and 1838. The tensions between the colony's English-speaking minority and the growing, nationalistic aspirations of its French-speaking majority were the main cause.

The rebellion failed, but it fueled the speed of political reform.

It is a pity that I have not them all. That way I could study more about Canadian History to write these articles.
