Daily Life In Canada
Sculpture of John Graves Simcoe on the Archives and Canadiana Building in Toronto, Canada, on August 20, 2011. John Graves Simcoe (February 25, 1752 – October 26, 1806) was a British army officer and the first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada from 1791-1796. He ended slavery in Upper Canada long before it was abolished in the British Empire as a whole - by 1810 there were no slaves in Upper Canada, but the Crown did not abolish slavery throughout the Empire until 1834.
