At Confederation, most French Canadians felt their homeland was Quebec; they supported the new arrangement because it separated Quebec from Ontario, creating an autonomous French-Canadian province loosely associated with the others. Unaware of other French-Canadian groups in British North America, Quebeckers were not concerned with minority rights, but only with the French character and autonomy of their own province. However, political and economic circumstances necessitated the granting of wide linguistic and educational rights to Quebec's Anglo-Protestant minority. Growing bitterness over the prominence of this minority in what was expected to be a French province was amplified by the discovery that French-Catholic minorities were losing their rights in other parts of Canada. Resentment at the fact that Quebec had to grant minority rights, while other provinces did not, intensified French-Quebec nationalism. At the same time, French Quebeckers felt sympathy for their co-religionists and co-nationalists in other provinces and tried to defend them against assimilating pressures. Fighting for the rights of Acadians, Franco-Ontarians, or western Métis eventually led Quebeckers to a new concern for the French fact in other provinces. Professor Silver concludes that by 1900 Quebeckers had become thoroughly committed to French-Canadian rights not just in Quebec but throughout Canada, and had become convinced that the very existence of Confederation was based on such rights. Originally published in 1982, this new edition includes a new preface and conclusion that reflect upon Quebec's continuing struggle to define its place within Canada and the world.

This study reviews the key events pertaining to the question of Quebec's political & constitutional status. The first section covers the period from the British conquest to the Act of Union of 1840. The second discusses Quebec and the Canadian federal system from Confederation in 1867 to the sovereignty referenda in the 1980s. This is followed by a review of the constitutional reform of 1982, attempts at redress from the Meech Lake Accord to the Charlottetown Accord, and finally the 1995 referendum & subsequent events.

Excerpt from The Story of Confederation: With Postscript on Quebec Situation The published volume is extremely valuable as a record and for certain observations by one of the makers of Confederation, but it covers only the organic stage of Union - from the Charlottetown conferences to the actual culmination in 1867, and Confederation is still in the making. It has had treatment in the magazines and in several small volumes not purporting to be more than readable reviews of the bringing about of the B.N.A. Act, the Magna Charta of Canada as a dominion, but none of the publications to which I have referred covers the wide field which Mr. Gosnell has surveyed in his book to which this is a foreword. There have, of course, been several useful and able commentaries upon Confederation from the constitutional point of view, largely based upon judicial interpretation and particularly upon decisions of the Privy Council. With fifty years of perspective, we should now be in a position to judge more or less accurately of the merits of the work of the architects of the federal structure, and to view successfully federal relations under a variety of trying strains and over a wide extent of territory. It is true that as a result of conditions arising out of this war Confederation has yet to stand its severest test, but there is every hope that sectional and racial considerations, which are the lions in the pathway, will not be permitted to prevail. Mr. Gosnell modestly claims to have written only a journalistic review of Confederation. This may be true, but it is the kind of review which appeals to the ordinary reader who wishes to arrive at a serviceable knowledge of the subject, and in that, I think, consists its merits.

Originally published in 1967. The nationalistic sentiment of French Canada was starkly dramatized by the Montreal terrorist bombings in the spring of 1963. Admittedly the work of extremists, that eruption of violence was an offshoot of the profound social, political, economic, and cultural transformation—an accelerated evolution rather than a revolution—that Quebec has undergone since the end of World War II. This revolution tranquille is characterized by a new sense of self-confidence among French Canadians, an eagerness to reject what they regard as any hint of second-class citizenship, and a determination to take full share in all aspects of Canadian life—without, however, sacrificing their French culture and heritage. A threat to the Canadian Confederation is implicit in the growing reluctance of modern French-speaking Canadians to abide the "tyranny of the majority," however enlightened or well-intentioned it may be. This first book-length study in English of the conflict between French and English Canadians provides a thorough treatment of French-Canadian complaints against English Canada, and of their implications for Canadian unity. Dr. Corbett devotes the first part of his study to an analysis of the ferment within the French-speaking population of Quebec during the postwar period. He discusses the relation between French-Canadian nationalism and other nationalisms and the roles played by the language barrier, the church, and the separatist movement. In the second part of the study he considers the political, economic, and social implications of separatism, with particular regard to the proposals for adapting the Constitution to Quebecois demands. After tracing the evolution of the ambivalent English-Canadian concept of Canada's national identity, he concludes that the future of the Confederation will depend on how far the English majority is willing to go in meeting French demands.
