The Lower Canada Rebellion (French: La rébellion du Bas - Canada), commonly referred to as the Patriots ' War (French: la Guerre des patriotes) by Quebecers, is the name given to the armed conflict in 1837 -- 38 between the rebels of Lower Canada (now Quebec) and the British colonial power of that province. Together with the simultaneous Upper Canada Rebellion in the neighbouring colony of Upper Canada (now Ontario), it formed the Rebellions of 1837. The rebellion of Lower Canada continued in 1838 and in Quebec is often called Les rébellions de 1837 -- 38.
