By the time Antoine was 23 years old, the American Revolution had ended.
After the war, tension continued between Britain and the colonies. Thousands of United Empire Loyalists (loyal to the Crown) were expelled from the United States. Some returned to England, but most
moved northward into Nova Scotia.

15 years old. Together, they had 12 children, all boys.

One year later, Napoleon Bonaparte entered Paris and was
crowned First Consul. In 1804 he took the title of emperor Napoleon I. He took the crown from the Pope and placed it on his head himself, thereby directly challenging the authority of the church.
Napoleon created a powerful central administration, and engaged in many military campaigns that allowed him to expand his empire. Antoine Lampron would never see the country where his roots
were first established and he also knew that France would never again rule Canada.
Antoine Lampron dit Lacharité died in January of 1850 in Yamachiche, St. Maurice, Québec, Canada. He was 90 years old. |
