John George Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham was sent to Canada in 1837 to report on the causes of the rebellions of 1837-38. His reports published in February 1839 would identify them as the ethnic conflict between the French and English, and recommended the unification of Upper and Lower Canada into one province. The Union of the Canadas was implemented by his successor, Charles Poulett Thomson, 1st Baron Sydenham, first Governor of the united Province of Canada.
