Today is Patriotes Day in Quebec. I have always wondered what specific kind of firearms were used in citizen rebellions around the first half of the 19th century. Does anyone have any information on what kind of weaponry the 1837-1838 patriots could have got their hands on?

Here's a video featuring historically-accurate weaponry "in action"...

Also, since most of the historical information available in english was written by british loyalists, it is relatively biaised. I'd like to know what you guys think of all this.

I hate how some jerkoff tried to compare holding a microphone to literally fighting and killing for your country. Fucking self-aggrandizing shitheel.

The FLQ did fight and kill for their country... they also did get categorized as a terrorist movement by the federal governement. You can,t openly say that you agree with what the FLQ did without someone calling the police on you or shit like that. You couldn't start a legitimate civil war against a "democratic" government in the western world in the 20th century and you sure as hell can't do it in the 21st. The october crisis is a fairly good example: as soon as there is a sliver of doubt regarding potential violence, the feds use the War Measures Act to send in all the troops they can legally justify.

>French, can't fight for shit

The French Foreign Legion, Napoleon, the Marquis de Lafayette and the French Resistance would like to have a word with you.

The FFL might be composed of 70%-75% foreign soldiers, but the officers and command are all French. The French have had a bad rap since the WW 1 and WW 2, but they do have a pretty strong military. I wouldn't fuck with them unless I had an ace in my sleeve.

Is that a famous picture of someone from that FLQ? Why did you bring them up? Did they call themselves "The Patriotic Citizens" or something? Because all I see is some jerk with a microphone which, in this context, implies that someone thinks too much of such people.
