Lower Canada was a historical region in North America, primarily located in what is now the province of Quebec. It was established in 1791 when the British divided the Province of Canada into Upper Canada and Lower Canada. Lower Canada was predominantly French-speaking, with a strong influence from French culture and Catholicism. The capital of Lower Canada was Quebec City, known for its rich history and architecture. The region faced various challenges, including political tensions between the French-speaking population and the British colonial government. These tensions eventually contributed to the Rebellions of 1837-1838, which sought greater autonomy and rights for the inhabitants.
