2.4.2. William Lyon Mackenzie
2.4.2.1. Mackenzie, 1795-1861, was a journalist, politician, and rebellion leader. Owning a small printing press, Mackenzie often published insults against leaders in his newspaper. One particular thing that was important in forming Canada was that he began to rally men to fight for responsible government. Rallying his troops to Montgomery's Tavern, he hesitantly waited for 3 more days, thus delaying his attack on York, which would've led to an earlier responsible government. As he waited for more men, Bond Head, an anti-rebellion leader, led many troops to Montgomery's Tavern, killing many rebels and burning it down. Mackenzie then fled to the US in exile, and returned later. His 2 right hand rebel leaders were unsuccessful, and were caught and hanged for treason
