"Troublous Times in Canada" is a historical account written by John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada. Macdonald sheds light on a critical period in Canadian history that followed the conclusion of the American Civil War in 1865. Macdonald expresses his concern that Canadian authors and historians have largely overlooked the gravity of the events that transpired during this time. The author emphasizes that the Fenian troubles of 1866 and 1870 posed significant dangers to Canada, which, if not addressed promptly, could have led to the severance of Canada from British dominion. Macdonald draws on his personal experiences serving on the Niagara frontier during the Fenian Raids of 1866 and 1870. He aims to provide a faithful account of the events during these campaigns, relying not only on his memory but also on official records and reports from the Militia Department in Ottawa and the Ontario Bureau of Archives in Toronto. "Troublous Times in Canada" by John A. Macdonald serves as a historical record of the Fenian troubles in Canada, offering insights into the challenges faced by the young nation during a critical period in its history.
