After the ship briefly exchanged fire with the improved Fort York built several hundred metres to the west from its original position the USS Lady of the Lake withdrew and returned to the American squadron outside the harbour American forces did not attempt a landing during this incursion although remained outside the town's harbour for the following three days before departing Post-War of 1812, The Burlington Bay James N Allan Skyway at Hamilton Ontario There are also a number of private career colleges spread throughout the Greater Toronto Area The Province of Upper Canada (French: province du Haut-Canada) was a part of British Canada established in 1791 by the Kingdom of Great Britain to govern the central third of the lands in British North America formerly part of the Province of Quebec since 1763 Upper Canada included all of modern-day Southern Ontario and all those areas of Northern Ontario in the Pays d'en Haut which had formed part of New France essentially the watersheds of the Ottawa River or Lakes Huron and Superior excluding any lands within the watershed of Hudson Bay the "upper" prefix in the name reflects its geographic position along the Great Lakes mostly above the headwaters of the Saint Lawrence River contrasted with Lower Canada (present-day Quebec) to the northeast It was the primary destination of Loyalist refugees and settlers from the United States after the American Revolution who often were granted land to settle in Upper Canada the province was characterized by its British way of life including bicameral parliament and separate civil and criminal law rather than mixed as in Lower Canada or elsewhere in the British Empire the division was created to ensure the exercise of the same rights and privileges enjoyed by loyal subjects elsewhere in the North American colonies in 1812 war broke out between Great Britain and the United States leading to several battles in Upper Canada the US had hoped to capture Upper Canada but the war ended with the situation unchanged The government of the colony came to be dominated by a small group of persons known as the "Family Compact" who held most of the top positions in the Legislative Council and appointed officials in 1837 an unsuccessful rebellion attempted to overthrow the undemocratic system Representative government would be established in the 1840s Upper Canada existed from its establishment on 26 December 1791 to 10 February 1841 when it was united with adjacent Lower Canada to form the Province of Canada Contents.
