After the War of Independence of the United States, some 50,000 American colonists who remained loyal to Britain or who had rendered military service in the British regiments of Loyalists had left the new republic. Approximately 6000 of these loyalists were installed in areas south-west of Montreal on the banks of the St. Lawrence River and the Niagara River and the north shore of Lake Ontario. This population of English language and religion mainly Protestant, wished to see established a colony governed by British laws and institutions that were familiar to them [1]. Upper Canada received more immigrants from the United States long after the War of Independence. More dubious loyalty, these newcomers to New England or New York were attracted by good farmland. Upper Canada played an important role in the Anglo-American War of 1812, is subject to many attempts of invasion by the Americans. The city of York (now Toronto), the capital city, was plundered and destroyed in 1812 by the American army. However, the British, aided by militia of Upper Canada, the Americans arrested at the Battle of Queenston Heights. Most of the new American colonists remained neutral during the conflict, although some individuals actively helped the U.S. side.
