Upper Canada rebelled in 1837 primarily due to widespread dissatisfaction with the colonial government, which was seen as corrupt and unresponsive to the needs of its citizens. The reform movement sought political changes, including responsible government and greater representation, as well as economic grievances related to land and taxation. The rebellion was fueled by frustration over the power held by the Family Compact, an elite group that dominated politics and decision-making. Ultimately, these tensions culminated in the rebellion led by figures like William Lyon Mackenzie.
